Not anymore he doesn't. . .

my real question.

What kind of "faith" can Obama possibly claim as his own, after we see what Wright was preaching? How can he possibly get any white American to see Black Liberation Theology to resemble in any important way their own concept of Christianity?

Obama can say all he wants that he's Christian and act as though that puts him in touch with others of the Christian faith, but what Christian faith sees the white man as symbolic of evil (which is I gather the central tenet of Black Liberation Theology)?

I'd think that for most Americans Black Liberation Theology is at least as foreign to their concept of Christianity as is Mormonism -- which was certainly a problem for Romney. Indeed, I'd say it's a lot more foreign than Mormonism.
