As for Obama not wanting to talk about race before now, what's your point? Why should he have talked about race any more than Hillary? He was campaigning as an American, not as a black.

He said, many times, exactly that, but what does he do when his decision-making is challenged? Reverts to a "I'll answer as a black man." Fagh.

Well, of course, now race has been shoved to the forefront, and he has no choice. It didn't happen, so we are expected to believe, because he's black, but because his pastor is black and appears to be a delusional drama queen in his criticism of the US and the white power structure.
Now he has come out and disavowed the outlandish portion of his pastor's sermons but won't disown the religious connection he has with him. And that sticks in your craw because conventional political wisdom says he should have left the church a long time ago if he disagreed with his pastor's sermons.
I'd have to agree with you that appearances aren't in Obama's favor, but beyond appearances we simply don't know whether our suspicions are true. Is Obama a closet Wright? Is he a racist? Is he dangerous because he listens to far-out black pastors? That's what we're exploring now...silly as it may seem to you.

Based on those things I conclude he MAY BE some or all of those things, and since the only reason I find the daylight maneuver in that hole is Obama's poor troubleshooting, I also conclude that my call of months ago - that he is a lightweight with no executive ability - is accurate.
