It’s certainly true that Obama’s inner motives are “genuine mysteries” and “unknowable.” I don’t like that much when selecting someone to be the leader of the free world.

If Obama turns his considerable rhetorical skill to consistently condemning the race-baiting brigades…

Not much comfort there. We have seen that it takes considerable amount of pressure and even outrage to push Obama past all his footdragging to finally do the “Wright” thing, and only with respect to Wright, and still with half-truths and incomplete explanations.

Yet the takeaway from the piece is that the moral onus is on conservatives to behave properly with respect to Obama–and this from an Obama supporter, though he doesn’t advertise the fact.
