Yeah…it’s just, you know, I like the idea of the PRESIDENT also being smart.

Then again, back when the Democrats were in a frenzy—“black guy or white woman? What to do?” I suggested we run Oprah, and get a two-fer. Stedman doesn’t seem like First Gentleman material, but I’m sure Gayle would be an excellent White House hostess.

Obama’s presence there and any loyalty he might have had to Wright’s church were based in political considerations. As I understand it, Wright’s church was and is a political powerhouse in Chicago. Had Obama NOT gone, it would have been odd.
