| For anybody who cares about the Steel Cage Death Match that is the Democratic presidential race here in the States, check out the text of Barack Obama's speech that he gave this morning on the issue of racial tension in America and the recent controversy over remarks made by Barack's former pastor. I'm semi-addicted to this real-life reality contest, and I read this speech and thought, "Obama fucking nailed it." If you've been following "Pastorgate" the past few days, you know Obama was in serious trouble. Doubtless he's lost some white voters over this situation, but still, reading the speech, I think he did outstanding damage control and turned a a huge negative into, maybe, a huge positive, taking the opportunity to make an inspiring, eloquent, RATIONALE speech on a topic that transcends standard-fare campaign stumping. Something Hillary Clinton won't be able to match without looking the fool: "Oh, um, by the way, I believe racism is bad, too. And my healthcare plan is better. Call me at 3:00am. We'll talk." | |
