If he knew, he lied to America.
If he didn't know, it reflects significantly on his judgment.
If he didn't know, did he sleep through those 20 years of church services?
If he didn't know, why did he hide Wright in the basement (and pray there with Wright) before going on stage to make his initial speech to run for the presidency?
Obama still hasn't actually distanced himself from Wright — but only from Wright's comments. And which comments, exactly?
Obama still has not addressed the subject in a way that most listeners find acceptable.
See, this is the real point. Sooner or later, people are going to say, "Which 'America' do you believe in, Senator? The one that is racist, that you aren't proud of, that you gives AIDs to its own people, or the one that says we are a shining city on a hill, a chosen people, overcomers, etc?"
He absolutely can't win that exchange, no matter which way he goes, because to this point he has built a campaign out of what's wrong with America. So he has been agreeing with Wright on the fundamental nature of the American character. That is what is at issue.
And I’m waiting for someone to ask him the questions that will force him to answer. I know I may have a long wait for any brave questioner or direct answer.
