Will the black nationalists and white lefties who pushed Obama up the political ladder in Chicago prove to be a liability to his White House run?
  • and your point is?

    Cause I really don't see one in the entire essay. He has friends with a wide variety of viewpoints. We have a clear enough idea where he stands based upon his voting record and policy proposals. His name is the only one on the ballot.

    I don't care what Obama's pastor says. How does that relate to my daily life? When you start writing articles like these you are virtually saying we should investigate every person the candidate has come into contact with throughout their lives.

    You have a lot of weak points. How does Obama going to this church fill out his weaknesses. Most people consider young men of any race who attend Columbia and Harvard to have a very strong resume and much potential. Also, you try and make it sound his sole motivation for joining the church was politically motivated. If so, why didn't he leave the church when he became a US Senator? Your illogical and improbable leaps of logic are astounding.

    I am actually disappointed that Salon published this hack journalism.
