Yeah. Pretty much. Thanks. I appreciate the fact that you're less wordy than I am.

Re: What do you think the fallout 

"he sat and listened to it be preached to several generations of black congregants"

is this true?

Re: What do you think the fallout 

I don't have an account of what sermons Obama attended and which he didn't, but from Obama's speech it is apparent he was aware that black victimization at the hands of whites was a prominent theme of Rev. Wright's sermons, and Obama finds that destructive.

or... 

he was aware of how fauxnews had mashed* the sermons?

suppose black victimization is only a garnish served with the dish from time to time. suppose further that barack knows this.

what's the best play?

it isn't "comment taken out of context", because that's reportorial code for "you caught me" (see g. ferraro).

no, the best political play is to reject the perceived comment (because you have to respond--even to false charges), but not reject the man (because, well, see clip in prior comment).

this buys time for the truth to get out. then, when the truth comes out, he's got a bullet for hrc. how could she be so stupid? how could her supporters be so stupid? how could they fall for faux news? again? or, if she knew... well... where's the integrity?
