Obama's method of public speaking comes from that tradition. So do the styles of thousands of other public speakers, political or otherwise. Obama's eminent failure will be because he is obscenely deficient in experience, aptitude, and character to be the commander in chief not because of his skin color. Obama's campaign affiliation with a preacher known for his anti white, anti american tirades raised questions not about mr. obama's skin color but his judgment.
Obama squarely denounced it. We must denounce the misogyny on all levels and everywhere whether in regards to reproductive freedom or racism. Obama is a breath of fresh air, where you, well, just cry. I'm sorry, but crying in front of tv cameras isn't what I want in a leader, especially considering the world we live in. Obama and those who support him should not wander off into a bunch of meta analyses of racial innuendo in the McCain approach. And we should stop saying this is not the real, honorable McCain.
Obama will have us all talking about racism and politics a lot more than usual, and probably in the very terms. I can see his point, but I also don't think that we should consider hiding racism from public view as an unequivocal victory or a political finish line in and of itself. Obama's responses to racially charged issues have been measured and stand in a clear contrast to the role that race played in harding's campaign for the presidency in 1920.
Obama does, with empirical veracity, have the most liberal voting record in the senate. If you are black, and if you have conservative values, and are torn on who to vote for at this juncture you are at best, a false prophet, and should be unceremoniously tossed from your conservative pulpit for choosing skin color over the values you purport. Obama is lucky because he's black; ferraro is discriminated against because she's white. White is the new black. Obama says some impressive things, obviously has a pretty firm grasp of politics, but so far, I don't really know what he'll do.
McCain supporters might say that that is a sign of a man who hates political functions and prefers getting on with the job. I guess it could be seen both ways. McCain can be the hand of sanity that will be needed no matter who is elected. He is the least of the evils as most do see that from an unbiased view.
Obama is, after all, campaigning during a time when george w. bush's utter failure as a president has deeply wounded the right wing cause.
