Yes, we can.

Not a stretch at all, there, really. Wright says he based his entire philosophy on Cone. Obama says (or has implied, certainly) that Wright is a mentor.

If A = B and B = C then A = C.

As far as being in trouble, the whole topic of conversation would be whether or not the republican could keep his religious views out of his governing. He wants to do the Lord's work? What exactly does he think that means? Locking women up in the kitchen with no shoes????? Who's Lord is he referring to?!?!?! We all have our own religious or non religious views and he CAN'T IMPOSE HIS ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And these concerns would be legitimate since, at least where the already born are concerned, Republican politicians typically invoke the old time religion in the name of exclusion and intolerance. If some politician wants to (occasionally) humbly cite Jesus's teaching as informing his message of brotherhood and charity, I'm not going to have too much of a problem with it. I believe the vogue phrase these days is "Red Letter Christian."

The first two parts of the equation are just assumptions on your part, not facts.
