For the last 24 hours, Obama’s campaign grappled with how to handle the aftermath of Wright’s whirlwind tour of hatred this weekend – from Dallas, where he decried his “public crucifixion,” to Detroit, where he entertained NAACP bigwigs with impersonations of white people, mockeries of classical music and “white” marching bands, to the National Press Club, where he preened, strutted and head-wagged his way through an hour of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4286 black liberation theologizing. At first, Obama downplayed Wright’s public appearances.
