On Saturday afternoon, in a move perfectly timed to coincide with the DNC’s raucous rules committee hearing about its Florida and Michigan delegations, Barack Obama announced that he and his wife had withdrawn as members from Trinity Church. Remember back in March, when Obama announced that he could “no more disown [Rev. Wright] than I can disown the black community?” Well, does this severing of ties mean that Obama has “disowned” the black community, or that his original speech established an entirely false and craven analogy?
