re: #181 researchok

Moynihan was outspoken about out of wedlock childbirth and the abandonment of marriage and fathers in minority communities. Remember the heat Obama took from Jackson when he made similar remarks?

Yes. From Jackson. But he got supported by others, and, if you recall, won the presidency. So the ‘third-rail’ topic that you’re citing is something that Obama touched on. So it’s not really a third rail.
