One peculiar con

Here is what I can't follow about Michael's charge earlier of Obama being a con man:
If Obama were a raving white-hating lunatic who is dishonest and trying to fool white America into voting for him with soothing words and a gracious smile while he secretly hates them and the country, then would he not have left his church years ago to avoid the examination and criticism of the past few days?
After all, the services at Trinity United Church of Christ are broadcast live every week, with replays during the week, so what is said there has been available for all to see.
Surely, Obama could have found better cover -- a lily-white Lutheran church, for example -- once he no longer needed Chicago street cred to get elected (per Michael's post), if he were running a con.
