I think you're onto something.

I don't know why every analysis of Wright's behavior has to center on Obama.  He was invited to speak and he spoke.  It's clear from his delivery that he has given the speech -- the Press Club speech and the NAACP speech, which overlap considerably -- many times before.  He retired from Trinity and now it is time to take his show on the road.

I've said before, take Obama out of the picture, and nothing changes about how Wright plans his calendar.  He would still be invited to speak, he would accept the invitations, and he would offer the same speech.  The only thing that changes is the nature and tone of the coverage.  And the nature and tone of the Q & A.
