It would be nice if someone would talk about this guy without saying "articulate" or "well spoken". People say it like its a surprise or something. Its annoying that people feel the need to mention how "articulate" black candidate are.

After reading my last post, I do not pretend to be articulate :)

I Agree. That is so condesending and as Dr. Condoleezza Rice said, whenever some one says that about her, she thinks they have really said "oh the monkeys can speak". No one said "Mike Ditka is very well spoken".

What do yo expect when dolts like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and their kind are continuously hurled to the top? Then when articulate, intelligent people like Colin Powell or Condi are up front and center they are labeled Uncle Toms because they won't chant the Demo party line. Ridiculous is what it is.

It's so stupid, too. As if well-spoken black public figures were rare. They're a dime a dozen. (Usually preachers.) Heck, being articulate is standard for a public figure; it's only if someone isn't articulate, that it merits notice.
