About damn time, Barack

This speech of Barack's may finally make me a supporter of his. It is about darn time for him to talk about race and what this country is crying out for and why voters have been swayed to him - what his personal race and experiences represent, the change we want.

This sounded like a speech from a man who could be president. He sounded real and authentic. Call it, Obama! Call out the truth about race and our education system and how we are not there yet. Call it. We want you to. We want someone to call it and lead us into something better. We want the truth about how blacks were not given mortgages and jobs. We want the truth about how whites feel bitter also esp regarding the loss of jobs. We want something more. If you speak out, if you call it, if you lead, we will follow you. I will follow you.

Looking forward to the speech he's supposed to make tonight.

at the same time, it's this "race-fueled" speech that has made some people turn away, saying that he should NOT be bringing up race...

to each their own eh?
