The Ghost of RubangB on 14 November 2008
I think it would've been weird if he immediately went along with his attackers and denounced Wright and distanced himself from it. I mean... he did just write a book in 2006 and give a speech in 2004, both called "The Audacity of Hope," which was named after a part of a Wright sermon. To get rid of him too fast would've made him look too disloyal, like you couldn't have a beer with him.
I'm not sure what he did to strengthen ties with Wright though. I just saw his big racism speech. Did he say something weird before that speech?
