Obama's Speech

[GoodWitch58]

I think he made a brave, courageous move...shows vision and leadership

I have a lot more respect for him after that speech. He handled it very well. The other speech on "religion" in this presidential race, by Romney, mentioned his Mormonism just once, and then it totally spiraled into a "if you don't believe in Jesus, your not a real American" route..at least Barack had the courage to mention his religious affiliation 14 times and deal with it head on.

On the political stage, his membership in the Trinity United Church makes total sense in that with over 8,000 members, it is the biggest church in Brack's district. A politician is a politician, hello, of course he is a member there.
This story needs to move to page six......:angry:

I agree with you on a lot of those points, except moving it out of the lime light. The only reason I say this is that he is going to have to hammer home the fact that he is a Christian and not a Muslim. If he doesn't keep that in the fore front the rednecks will start buying the phony crap that's been running around.

Unfortunately, you are very right, SWGB.

DO you fault the rednecks or the peddlers within the Clinton camp who keep this stuff alive?

I think that this is the beginning of the end.
What you are seeing is a smooth rhetorician stumbling.
Just throwing Granny under the bus won't work.
Break it down and it doesn't add up to anything more than a white guilt trip.
There is no getting around that Wright is a racist who despises America.
Michel spoke truth when she claimed never to have been proud of Amerika.

I feel sorry for all of the good people who supported him.

I was very impressed he was speaking from his heart and not from a piece of paper.

Very well spoken!................

He was speaking from a teleprompter.

He stayed up all night for two nights writing the speech himself, according to his aides. The teleprompter broke about halfway through the speech. I can't believe this teleprompter is a problem for anyone, given the power of his words. I guess some people stopped listening a long time ago.

He's giving another really excellent speech right now. This one is on Iraq.
