This journalist sounds pretty lucky. Seems like he managed to hear a corking good speech this morning. I missed that one — I was too busy listening to Obama’s pointless and pathetic hectoring.
I thought it was a good speech...although I probably have a different perspective from many since I’m 1/2 Anglo and 1/2 Hispanic. I know what it’s like to straddle the racial divisions and try to come to terms with it. I find what Wright said to be awful but....ignoring that anger doesn’t make it go away...neither does throwing money at it nor pandering. Obama’s bi-racial background seems to put him in a unique position to do something positive about this.
I’m still not voting for Obama because of the issues - abortion being a biggie, etc etc. but I liked the speech.
