I understand what you're getting at, Alcyone. Identity politics are pertinent with respect to Wright, and depending on your point of view, identity politics are okay, a logical consequence of the environment in which you were raised etc.

But the point is that Obama has made as the center part of his platform that he is someone who will bring Harmony and that he is against anything that is Divisive. So he must walk the walk (to use a old cliche). He must be Caesar's wife, not play both sides of the road. (and now I'm mixing my metaphors frown )

At any rate, it's not going to affect the outcome of the Dem.nom race.
