He simply says to everyone in the room, "I am here because of Ashley."

Inside joke?

Red states? Blue states? It's an Obama nation!

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.

Judging by the way Limbaugh is demonizing Obama on the race issue right now I'd say the speech was very effective.

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.

If the Stupid party thinks Joe is going to corral a bunch of Jewish votes for them in November then they learned nothing from 2000.

The Jewish vote was not influenced one iota by the presence of him on the Dim ticket.

Race Speech

yeah..........

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.

JMHO

Resist!

Please take no offense if have at a slight editing stab, christine.

Obama stopped the clinton kitchen sink and threw candidness, truthfulness, sincerity and decency back at them.

I still insist that this man will continue to take the high road all the way to November, regardless of how much mud he has to slog through.

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.

Did you read the speech?

no, I haven't.

I'm certain that it's a very good speech, though.

I am commenting only on racial divisiveness being used as a diversion.

Although BHO is far from my first choice for the presidency, to my knowledge, he doesn't have a 'body-count' website devoted to him.

You gotta read the context.

The first association I made with "Ashley" was "Montagu".

Boy did I laugh.

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.
