The above comments are thoughtful and appreciated.

My question is this.

What did Obama do to bring healing to his church. In twenty years as a bright member of the congregation and as one close to the pastor, did he speak up, did he promote understanding, what did he do to unite people? He certainly had no affect on his Pastor.

If he did accomplish nothing there, why should we expect him to accomplish anything as President?

My guess is that he is a selective opportunist. He needed that constituency while in Chicago. He needs a different constituency now.
