In heated '07 speech, Obama lavishes praise on Wright, says feds 'don't care' about New Orleans

The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama's carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

Obama Has the Wright Stuff

Charles Kesler points out in I Am the Change that a close reading of Obama's much-praised Philadelphia speech that supposedly threw Wright under the bus shows that Obama didn't really express a fundamental disagreement with Wright at all:
