Obama can't end his association with Wright because it would torpedo his Black support who would see that as giving into the "Man". It is easier for Obama, but still a tough sell, to convince White voters that Wright is good at heart and just lets his rhetoric get away from him occasionally (ahem, like Twenty Years Straight!).

Obama is banking on White people being so determined to prove they are not racist that they will buy his story, or at least vote accordingly. It may work. There is also the laziness factor that many will hear his speech, take it at face value and not look further. That angle is tough if people are watching TV where Wrights stuff is on all the time! Obama's explanation does not have the emotional impact of Wright's rants.

If Obama loses this thing it will be because of Wright. Wright will get to retire to his 10,000 square foot Mansion knowing the best chance to elect a Black man President of the United States in the history of this country was ruined by his big mouth. That would serve him right!

I’m no racist. I voted for Alan Keyes in the Texas primary.

But I do stand publicly opposed to that damned Marxist lying bigot with little experience and a Socialist propaganda mural campaign.
