This is a very good speech, but it has the typical Obama signature to it.

So...what to do now?

Invariably, Obama leaves that out.

I'll refrain from commenting further.

I read platforms to decide who I vote for; rhetoric and charisma carry zero weight here. If what is under the hood is undesirable, it doesn't get my vote, regardless of what else is going on.

So far, no Democrat has a platform that I would vote for.

I'm not concerned about McCain *if* we have a Democrat Congress. I am concerned with Hillary and a Democrat Congress.

Of the two Democrats, Obama is the best choice. He shows the capacity to learn and even the most cynical person has to admit he pays good lip service to issues at the very least.

At Chez Mirage, we are "traditional New England Republicans" meaning we believe in a balanced budget, smaller government, and all that stuff. The only candidate that believes in that is Ron Paul and we will be voting for him until we are not allowed to any longer. We don't like RINOs and we don't like NeoCons. We do vote for Conservative (or Blue Dog) Democrats if they are better than the Republican.

Color us "equal opportunity" here. Color us "wild-eyed independent" as well if you wish.

But, again, I give Obama high marks for the speech. I just wish it recommended a solution or even outlined the pathway to the solution.

I expect the grievance industry and the Black Community will, in some parts, come unhinged because Obama threatens their livelihoods. We will have to see what the fallout is from that.

Would anyone notice a difference?

Only at the difference in the target. Imagine Diversity and Grievance people attacking their own.

Obama does "get" one very important thing. You cannot fight discrimination with discrimination. He is ahead of every other Democrat in that regard.

Now he just needs to "get" that people self-segregate by choice in the modern age.
