Senator Obama's "nutty preacher problem", so described in an earlier post, is now a microcosm of his entire campaign. Pastor Wright, when given an opportunity to voice his opinions after the bulk of controversy has subsided, has revealed himself to be quite rigidly locked in the methods, practices, and agendas that have made him. In short, Jeremiah Wright is a card-carrying member of Senator Clinton's voter base. It really should come as no surprise that Pastor Wright is being shipped around with as loud a megaphone as Clinton's supporters can find, letting Obama's "mentor" frame his own case for guilt by association.
We are reminded that in the opinion of the American School, Obama is at best a heretic; the upstart who is not "black enough" (to coin Marvin Arrington's debate slant),in terms of both "patronage" and adoption of the faction's insularity, to rank as a worthy member of either the tribe or its chosen political party.
Let's be clear about a few things. This revelation is a much more concrete problem than the contrivance that is "Bittergate". However, this is another instance, however closer to home it may be, of the existing conflicts within both the Democrat party, and African-American power structure. Mr. Wright, and the direct opposition to Obama's platform, is also an electorally lethal tool in the hands of the school of thought whose stock in trade is the exploitation of such differences.
