The tides of history are rising higher and faster these days. Read them right and ride them, or be crushed. And then along comes Barack Obama, with the kinds of gifts that appear in politics but once every few generations. There is a sense of dignity, even majesty, about him, and underneath that ease lies a resolute discipline. It's not just that he is eloquent with that ability to speak both to you and to speak for you it's that he has a quality of thinking and intellectual and emotional honesty that is extraordinary.

Without the slave trade Obama would still be where he is. The son of an African immigrant and a white lady.
His ancestory is not that of the black American decendents of slaves.
Rolling Stoned knows even less about good music than they do about politics.
Well, they got the ears right. LOL
All that is missing is the cape and the Daily Planet globe.
I just love the angelic aura touch.
With that fishy mouth, he looks like Boss Nass.
I hope the vandals are caught and prosecuted.
And would somebody please explain how electing someone from CONgress is considered PROgress?
So, what's been airbrushed? Smaller ears?
“idolatry”
Many philosophers have said that man yearns for something larger than themselves in which he can believe.
In the absence of belief in God, he will find a substitute.
BHO is a toon?
Who knew?
They are trying to give him more depth, than his speeches allow, gravitas, to use the liberal terminology.
Where did you hear they had it shut down?
The more the Left makes Barack Hussein Obama out to be the new Christ, a prince of peace and a god in his own time, the more I see him as an antiChrist and a deceiver.
Ditto. Obama is avoiding the real issues,and; no socialist, commie, pinko, from Kenya or anywhere will ever fool me.
So I see Star Jones’ husband is gay!!!
BTW,WHO is Star Jones?
“...with that ability to speak both to you and to speak for you...”
Sorry, he does not speak for me. Because if I had been in the Illinois legislature like he was and had the opportunity to vote on whether or not a baby who survived a murder attempt should receive medical attention like he did, I would have voted “Yes.” Obama - the allegedly kind-hearted, compassionate, eloquent, charismatic, Christiam man - voted “No.”
And if I was going to a “church” that made it a point that everything had to be “White Values” and where Louis Farrakhan - a practicing anti-Semite - was honored, I would immediately quit going to that church. Obama has not done that yet. So he is a racist, because whenever you start placing titles of color on anything, you are racist. Period.
So, Rolling Stone, Barak does not speak for me...at all.
