Shelby Steele on Barack Obama

In an article entitled, "The Obama Bargain" in the Wall Street Journal, Shelby Steele, an incredible writer (who happens to be black) offers his insightful critique on the role of race in the success, thus far, of Senator Obama's candidacy, and the danger to it of the revelations about Obama's church.

Make no mistake. Rev. Wright (Obama's pastor) is no evangelical, nor is his church one that is in any way amenable to the biblical gospel. Whether Senator Obama is himself a true follower of Jesus cannot be known by his belonging to this church.
