Thanks. However, when MSM overwhelmingly praises the speech - just like any other speech Obama gave, a person who is not exposed to the full picture of this thing will be easily to be fooled. That is what we saw yesterday. Obama had plenty of chances (20 years!) to deliver his speech in the very church this hatred exists (even today) and moreover he can delivery this speech one-to-one to his pastor! But he did not since he AGREES with him! Americans don't trust action and facts anymore - just words. How sad it is. Excellent points. Thanks.

How sad it is.

It was a well-executed high wire act. It is something that has to be a part of the new politics-- we simply have to break out of this pattern of playing gotcha with the other side, of Bork-anizing each other. As a nation, as a media, as a bodypolitic, we have to ...grow up. I think Obama's speech was a clarion call for maturity. My problem? I follow him until I hear his solutions to America's problems, and then he loses me. Because although I'm "only" 49, I am old enough to know that the liberal plans he is pushing are doomed to fail because of two undeniable facts: they go against human nature and they always have.
