I think today’s speech may have been an overreach. I think Obama actually runs the risk of being viewed as some sort of Manchurian candidate - but not a Muslim one. His direct engagement on matters of race run the risk that he’ll be perceived as a radical race warrior in hiding. People may see him as someone waiting to grab the reins of power who will spend 4-8 years making us deal with race issues.

On some visceral level, I think that’s something a lot of caucasians don’t want to contemplate.

I think Obama faces a real dilemma here, whether he embraces Wright's theology or casts himself as more of a casual churchgoer. But I'll have to read his speech (and some commentary thereof) before I make up my mind.</p> Which two ways does he want it?

He asks America to rise above race and religion, while hoping to appear religious himself. But he is in deep trouble if a spotlight is shined on his own THEOLOGY.
