Here's another link that you should read, if you haven't already. Note the date. Barack Obama's search for faith

And here is one on Liberation Theology from the Catholic Library in 1984, when they were struggling with the Marxist doctrine in South and Central America. Liberation Theology

I read those. Since the dust up, I have heard Obama invoke the doctrine of social justice. Social justice is a term usually used to describe liberal theology in both Catholic and mainline protestant churches. That is smart of Obama because he is trying to give those in the MSM something to grab a hold of in his defense. . The social justice doctrine as I understand it usually comes from the teaching of Jesus, of which in the small sample of preaching that I have heard from Wright, I have not heard him invoke the name of Jesus. The Christianity taught in my experience is grounded in salvation through Christ and Christ as a personal saviour which comes from a reading of the Gospels which does not have to be terribly interpretative or a terribly profound reading. Obama is smart enough to know the MSM are his devoted allies and he is throwing some theology out for their consumption that chances are he h NEVER got in twenty years with Wright.
