Maybe. But even if you’re right, it’s a gamble of the first order.
The only reason millions of white people have voted for Obama thus far is that he truly seemed like the post-racial candidate, as if he had nothing in common with the racist race-baiters such as Sharpton and Jackson.
If he truly throws Wright under the bus, that actually will be a good day for America. Obama will have to sink or swim without the racists. And I believe his outrage at being called, essentially, a “puppet” by Wright (”He was only saying what politicians say; he’ll be dancing to my tune when he’s in the White House”) is very real. Obama knows very well if he were to ever show any more evidence that he’s (as Wright implied) Wright’s “boy,” his national political career is over.
I don’t think Obama would take that chance. If he manages to escape out of this one, I think he will have learned his lesson: don’t pick up a snake and think you can put it in your pocket without it biting you.
His ONLY chance now is to go to full disowning of Wright. And if Wright comes out swinging, then Obama has no chance but to go to full-scale war with him.
That might end up being good for the country. Someone like Obama is the only guy who (at least at this moment in history) can take these guys out. And I for one hopes he does it.
It may not save him politically this time around (obviously I don’t want him to win in November), but it may help our country and for that I’d be grateful. If Obama has the hormones to really fight back at these racists and say what needs to be said, I’d give him great credit for that.
Obama will never fight back at these racists, he is not going to change what he is, a basic Leftist Black Racist politician. What you are hoping for is someone that does not exist, Obama is not going to help anyone but himself, he never has and never will!
