I was in "Defend Wright" mode until I read about his comment about Obama's Philly speech.  Sure, Obama didn't embrace Wright's stuff from the videos, even though some of it was true.  Obama, as you said, is a politician.  But Obama hardly threw Wright under the bus that day.  And I do think Wright was showboating a bit in front of the NPC.  The Moyers interview was apparently very good, but Wright flew off the handle at NPC.

Wright did kind of coldcock Obama.

But, personally, my inner conspiracy theorist is still wondering if the whole thing wasn't planned by Wright and Team O as a means to killing the issue once and for all (going along with TBG's "Obama as Uber-Patriot" theme).

It occured to me too. But I think Wright has been playing the eyes-rolling scary guy far too madly for it to be a ploy.

That's my take on it, too, but it does seem odd to me that the two would have such a bitter and public breakaway so suddenly.

If it was a ploy, it seems to have worked, and it makes them geniuses for manufacturing such an excellent "Sista Souljah" moment.
