He will probably be elected. Lets see how he leads all these black preachers when they dont see some dramatic change in their lives. They will throw him under the bus just like every other successful black person who does not tow the socialist line.

Why should Obama or anyone else really care what the loudest preachers say if/after he is elected? He isn't running as a personal crusader for liberation theology, or repeating any of the stuff from Wright as his own position.

He has politely slipped them under the bus himself, he just didn't do it with a grand enough thud to please his critics.

This will be very old news if Obama is sworn in next January, and irrelevant after that. President Obama would be focused on taking his 53-55% victory and building a governing consensus he could get something done with.

Where in my posts am I hinting that Obama should have forcefully stopped the speech of his spiritual leader?

"Leadership would have been advising his spiritual leader that his comments were damaging another generation and that he was not going to stand for it."

"He was not going to stand for it?" What did you mean when you wrote that?
