I understand completely, that's why I ask for caution in a rush to judgment on this issue. Obama recently suffered through the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal... and for the most part it has subsided. But for the very reasons you state regarding motives and machinations, there is a big can of worms just waiting to be re-opened by the opposition regarding Obama's judgment. Is it being influenced by his church doctrine, his spiritual leader, and Black Liberation Theology... or perhaps his involvement with William Ayers, Public Allies, and the teachings of Saul Alinsky?
There is a thread on TFP Politics entitled
Rev Jeremiah Wright - or WRONG? that thoroughly covered similar concerns in all the most painful ways. I'd hate to see this discussion fall down that path.
