Obama's Problem   [John Derbyshire]

The problem conservatives should have with Obama is that Jeremiah Wright's sermons are not "unorthodox". They are mainstream among self-consciously black churches and churchgoers — though far, far to the left of the rest of the country.

That Obama reveres this minister, and donates to this church, suggests that he, too, is far, far to the left of the rest of us. Or if not, he owes us some explanation more convincing than the "crazy uncle" line.
