Obama's oratory doesn't diss Wright

For a candidate who did not run on the issue of race, isn't it ironic that Obama gave 'an unconventional' speech today on race in Philly?

For a candidate who did not run on the issue of race he did not apologize for his association with Rev Right, according to one editorial piece, '..anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-white mentality.'

Another one from the Washington Post:
'It's hard to accept that Mr. Obama was entirely unaware of his pastor's bitter analysis of American society. That he did not distance himself from the Rev. Wright until the statements became public is bound to raise legitimate questions. Mr. Obama has presented himself as someone who can help the country overcome its racial divisions. If that is to happen, rhetoric such as the Rev. Wright's cannot be tolerable.'
