One of the issues in the Wright flap that hasn't gotten much attention but which is key is Obama's patriotism or the implied suggestion that he doesn't have any.
And while Obama didn't address this specifically, I think his actions and words tell us something. He stood by his friend Wright and the black community as a whole despite the fact that he knows his friend and his community include views he finds abhorrent.
Now apply that to America. Doesn't this reassure us that all the anti-American sentiment in the world -- even if there's truth in it given some of our actions in the past -- won't sway Obama's patriotism because he is someone who judges people and communities as a whole and once he judges them worth his loyalty despite their flaws, doesn't waver from that. Isn't that a more true patriotism than the Right's insistence that we love America by pretending she's perfect? Their patriotism is an infatuation, not love.
