1) It is possible to be a member of a community and not completely agree with every aspect of its ideology.
2) The ability to be a member of a community whose ideology you disagree with is a good thing to see in a politician, given the current state of partisanship.
3) For Senator Obama to do as you request, for him to spend his campaign damning ideologies he disagrees with rather than promoting those he stands for, is to ask him to run against the grain of his “post-partisan” campaign.
4) Abandoning his current rhetoric, his focus on empathy and healing, would be the equivalent of turning his back on his own campaign, which has been popular precisely because of how inclusive it is.
