Dicker, of the NY Post's Albany bureau, has a Chicago uber source who knows all -- "deep roots in Wright's Chicago community and is familiar with his thinking on the matter" -- and who suggests the danger that may be lurking for Obama:
"After 20 years of loving Barack like he was a member of his own family, for Jeremiah to see Barack saying over and over that he didn't know about Jeremiah's views during those years, that he wasn't familiar with what Jeremiah had said, that he may have missed church on this day or that and didn't hear what Jeremiah said, this is seen by Jeremiah as nonsense and betrayal."
Who knows if it's for real. But, hypothetically, what if Wright responds to Obama's denunciation by calling him out as a liar -- claiming that they talked in detail about many of the "inflammatory" ideas, and he wasn't telling the truth when he said he was unaware?
What does Obama do then?
