agree. Obama stopped the clinton kitchen sink and threw it back at them. i don't think they can overcome this, but, but then, it all depends on who is the PTB selection....and it could still be mcCain. i'm thinking that because of his association with lieberman who is accompanying mcCain to Israel and the ME.

Rush is now telling the goobers that Obama's speech is "Presidential Politics".
We'll now see yukon posting that when Obama stumps for President it's just Presidential politics.
Maybe Limbaugh should tell the goobers that when Obama takes a breath, he's just "sucking air". It is kind of hard to defend against this sort of stuff when there's a pack of morons out there just waiting to lap it up.
I see this whole "race" matter being the same as the "gay marriage" issue from '04.
Both are polarizing factors to divert Americans' attention away from the fact that the economy is in the toilet, there is an evil foreign occupation going on, the middle class is being systematically crushed, and the taxable earnings of the next 4 generations are being looted by off-shore "defense" contractors.
Neither issue has any real substance and neither issue can be resolved by our elected officials. Both are cultural issues and will never be changed by any government.

Obama is not the one dragging race into the contest.
Indeed, even in this "race" speech he attempted to bring the issues you mention back into the debate.
Read it and think about it, it won't change your color.
Heck, the next time we hear from you, you might even be calling yourself AmericanGuy.

Indeed. What Obama did is to call on the people to responsibility. From this speech 'we the people' will not be able to vote for chimperor (twice) and not be considered responsible for the consequences of their act.

I agree. I'm waiting to see Fox News (who were laughing about him before the speech started) to begin extracting statements from this morning's speech out of context so they can start more controversy.
'Individuals should not take responsibility for their own defense. That’s what the police are for. ... If I oppose individuals defending themselves, I have to support police defending them. I have to support a police state.”' Alan Dershowitz
Who knew that a mustard and relish sandwich could ever be used to make a wonderful statement.

I am commenting only on racial divisiveness being used as a diversion.
That's pretty much what Obama says in his speech, too.
Yes indeed.

His conversion to Christianity was real, and it shows.
