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.

The problem is aligning his rhetoric and feigned sincerity with his past twenty years of inculcation in the hate-whitey-hustle of the ‘Great Wright Way’. Obama is good at appearing sincere. His history proves he's faking. This man is extremely dangerous and we are now facing a coin with one side having the clintons blowing up the democrap party to get the nomination and the resulting race riots, and the other side has race riots as the hateful black racist way to try and scare whitey into voting for a black racist who can lie as well as sinkEmperor clintoon. Either outcome would be acceptable to Barry Obama if he gets the empowerment from it. 'blackmail' comes to mind.

Obama sat there in church for twenty years, listening with his kids to a preacher vilifying his country, white people in general, and the state of Israel, and lacked the moral gumption to leave. I think the halo has slipped.

Just because one is of mixed race does not mean you can excuse preaching hate and lies.

Apart from the fact that it was hypocritical, race-baiting, socialist swill, I kinda liked it myself.
