I think Obama doesn't have the stones for that move. He knows that it would be throwing away a lot of black votes... he can't afford that. Obama is THE man in the middle... and Black America has had if both ways on this issue for so long that NO candidate who won't abjectly patronize black voters will be accepted. Morris overlooked this basic reality of Black American voters.
I was pretty amazed at how un-Wright Obama was at his last speech as it was.
I never thought I’d have the relief of hearing a national politician, either black or white, come right out and say that views such as Wright’s are “appalling” and “ridiculous” and so on.
He went a lot farther than the Witch has ever even come to saying about the Black Liberation Theology garbage.
If he survives to fight another day, he may do more, more often.
Wright, essentially, called Obama his “boy” and Obama told him to shove off. People can go for that.

BTW, you're right about this. But I took that as Morris' point, not something he overlooked.
The "black America" that is the Black Liberation Theology plantation can no longer have it both ways. Obama cannot "abjectly patronize" them and win. But they (meaning: the racist hate-mongers who make millions off peddling BLT hate) cannot allow him to win because that would demonstrate that whitey is, in fact, not keeping the black man down. So they sabotage his success, all the while they will be the first to charge "racism" when Obama loses.
I think what Obama has done here is decided he's going to have to try to win without them (the black racists) because he can never be what they want him to be.
That's a good thing.
