Obama gave a speech that has been inside him his entire life. No doubt, he knows what he is all about, and what this nation is all about. His tactics are intentional and unifying this nation is the highest priority, more than any other single "platform" issue of either political party. Glad to see someone not only sees it but is committed to it. Now, just hope he can become elected before some cracker like JayReilly or cmitch assassinates him. Jim |
It was a good speech, but then we all know he is good at speeches and not much else. I can understand most of what he said, though I believe it was all for political ends--he just wants to get elected--and not much more. I do not believe he really believed half of what he said, but even if he did, what he said will not change the fact that he spent most of his life in close association w/ that racist Rev. of hate speech. Nothing he, or anyone else, says about it will ever change the reality of his racist upbringing. If you are being intellectually honest you will have to admit that the damage is done and cannot be undone, even by his fancy specifying. It is over. He is toast. And if you don't believe me just wait for the primary results in PA.
