What can it be that has kept Obama in Wright's pews, and at Wright's mercy, for so long and at such a heavy cost to his aspirations? Even if he pulls off a mathematical nomination victory, he has completely lost the first, fine, careless rapture of a post-racial and post-resentment political movement and mired us again in all the old rubbish that predates Dr. King. What a sad thing to behold.

Then, how is it that the loathsome Wright married him, baptized his children, and received donations from him? Could it possibly have anything, I wonder, to do with Mrs. Obama?

This obvious question is now becoming inescapable, and there is an inexcusable unwillingness among reporters to be the one to ask it. (One can picture Obama looking pained and sensitive and saying, "Keep my wife out of it,")

?Mrs. Obama's 1985 thesis influenced by?
"separationism" offered by Stokely Carmichael and Charles Hamilton in their 1967 screed Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America.

I am sure it has a lot to do with her. However, Obama is a public figure running for president and represents an entire state. He cannot allow his racism to be revealed by his own actions. That is why it is easier to see in those around him, in those with whom he associates, his past actions, and his moments of candor ( ex: throwing grandma under the bus, projectiong his racism onto white America, blaming white America for their ignorance of black lib theology, calling middle Americans bitter, etc). Those around him do not have their political antennae up as often as he does.

By the way, That is an unflattering picture of her. She is nicer looking than that photo reveals.

Obama's true sentiments are leaking out at unguarded
moments, which explains the reason his appearances
are completely scripted (just like his reverends sermons)
and he's only willing to answer soft-ball questions.
Was the manipulated Obama photo the one titled "Snob"
Michelle is quite attractive and classy looking, until she
opens her mouth, then she sounds like Teresa Heinz-Kerry!
