Okie, because of the size of this article, certain "sacrifices" have to be made on sections that are large enough to support a child article and, unfortunately, one of these sacrifices is covering a single event within the subject area of the child article in detail.  One of the ways to look at the presidential campaign section is to see it as the lead for the Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008 article. If you look at it as a lead and follow WP:LEAD then the campaign section as a whole should be 3-4 paragraphs long in total. Is Wright controversy really worth a quarter of the paragraphs that we should have to cover the entire presidential campaign, or is it acceptable to leave a 1-2 sentence summary of what happened on the main article and leave the actual details to the presidential campaign article?
