I am trying to envision McCain getting a criticism like that after a speech and I cannot without six high priced hookers, a large container of Cool Whip, and a mute button somehow involved.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Leaving aside the rhetoric, which shows evidence of his having studied Cicero, what is there not to praise in the speech? Frankly, I am not an O'Dude, have been leaning towards Clinton all along, and still am. But Obama got the race thing dead cold, and only a . . . well, I won't characterize, but the person who sees a positive reaction to the speech as merely a physiological reaction, an orgasm, that bypasses the intellect is . . . well, again, I won't characterize.<br><br>[color:red]&#63743;</font color=red> [color:orange]&#63743;</font color=orange> [color:yellow]&#63743;</font color=yellow> [color:green]&#63743;</font color=green> [color:blue]&#63743;</font color=blue> [color:purple]&#63743;</font color=purple>

I am disappointed that you would rather attack Sen. Obama's supporters than talk about the substance of his speech.<br><br>That's fine though if all you want to do is expose your own preconceived notion.<br><br>-- Cee Bee Double-U

The entire speech was about trying to shift the dialogue to sh[/i]it that matters and all we end up talking about is shi[i]t that does not matter.<br><br>Who had an orgasm. What talking heads are crying about (certainly nothing about content).<br><br><br><br><br>

Aw, is that an echo? I could swear I read that very same expression somewhere...<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions – the good and the bad – of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.<br><br>I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.<br><br>These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.<p><hr></blockquote><p>I don't know if it is particularly ironic or just sad that a speech that talks of accepting people in their whole is so taken out of context.<br><br>These responses are predicated on two things though: people don't read, people are stupid.<br><br>-- Cee Bee Double-U

I haven't seen the whole thing, but I've heard many pieces... and I think he hit a home run !<br><br>Will everybody be happy ?? NO!<br><br>the extremists of each camp (the Wrights and the far right wingnuts) will still be pissy.... no one could win them over, but for the 60-70% in the middle - I think he struck a chord... even if they don't vote for him.<br><br>I have to say I'm dammed impressed... we haven't seen someone like him since JFK. (a President who can think- and thinks of the whole country first)<br><br>David (OFI)
