Opportunist Jeremiah Wright

Evidently Mike Huckabee and Clarence Page agree that Senator Obama's former pastor may be actively trying to derail his campaign, because his success puts the lie to Wright's claims that pervasive white racism are holding the black man down.

So if Wright continues to torpedo his former parishioner's chances for the Presidency, I've got to ask another question; does Wright really believe what he's saying, or is he saying things simply because they play well among those in his church? If you look up his bio, he and his parents both pretty much lived the American dream, and his mother was actually the first black teacher in not one, but three, fairly prestigious Philadelphia schools.

Yes, it could be that his views are his (IMO misguided) attempt to have compassion on those who are less fortunate. I've got to admit, though, that I'm suspicious of his sincerity here.
