After getting hammered for about a week over his former pastors comments, Barack Obama finally came out and made a definitive speach about race. Obama was trying to stay above this fray, but he was dragged down into it, so speak he did.
I thought it was a great speech. Bold, direct, and couragous. He layed it all out. As the cool kids say, he kept it real. I hope people listen to the speech themselves instead of taking what the mainstream media gives them as analysis. Don’t let others tell you how to think, do it for yourself. Conservatives will hate the speech, Democrats will largely accept it. That helps no one.
In the end, I think this will end quickly because people are far more concerned with what is happening to the economy. Are they going to be able to keep their house, their job? What about the complete mess that is health care? You want to find crazy pastors? They’re all over the place. Even John McCain has one supporting him. What’s most humorous about this is all the coverage on TV analyzing this to death is mostly being done by wealthy white men.
