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.

Excellent point - I hadn't even thought of the poverty-pimps reaction...maybe BHO should tap Bill Cosby as his veep, to really stir the pot.

If he does that, my only question is then "Where do I send the check?"

Obama has set the stage now for real leadership. This is political brinksmanship at its best. If he does not seize the moment and emerge as a real leader with a solution and a plan, all is for naught.

All eyes are on Obama now. It is "lead or die" for his campaign at this moment.

I imagine the uproar at Jesse Jackson's mansion is deafening. Obama threatens Jackson's very existance. Ditto for Al Sharpton and the Diversity Mongers.

Once Obama starts in, he will discover that Black America has withdrawn from the country in many parts. Whitey did his part - it is now time for Black America to do its part and join with the rest of us.

Lunch with a friend of mine where we discuss these matters (let's just say his kids are mixed) should be very interesting this week.

Could be he's trying to hold his party together.

If he gets a chance to go one on one with McInsane the picture may become clearer.

He has hinted at bipartisanship, even to the point of implying non-Dims in his administration.

I will be anxious to see if he expands on this at cutting time,

The Democrat party is pretty much in a civil war right now. That much we know for a fact.

If Obama is truly trying to be the "coalition" candidate, he will announce how he will deliver this.

Many people are so cynical with regards to Government right now that they don't believe it until they see it.

Obama bought himself a pass with his speech today, but the price is stepping up to the plate and being a leader. Delivering on his words begins with articulating a vision and then a plan.

Without that, he falls on his face as being an empty suit.

Thinking about some of his comments, his "My mother looked over her shoulders for ni**ers" echoes CHRIS ROCK. Is Obama going to blast Chris Rock now? I don't think so.

As time goes on and people have time to think about this speech, more "WTF?" items like that will come out.
