That suits his ambition to become the Democratic nominee and to become president.

Which is it, Barack? Did you carefully select to attend only on the Sundays when Wright never railed against America and white people? Or is this another of your cover-ups?

(I think Obama's trying to subtly address white fears of violence in Denver and alleviate them, but he blew it if that was his intent.) It feels like, using Sharpton as an iconic black leader, the awareness that Obama's blackness was a mere cloak that he feels free to slide into and out of at his convenience (and for the benefit of a white liberal audience) is settling in. One more tone-deaf gaffe like that, and Sharpton may well move into, "Who the hell is this guy, anyhow? What the hell did he ever do for us?" And with reason.
