Not-lanta Sen. Obama and the amazing race speech
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Don't just watch the news for the sound bites from Sen. Barack Obama's speech on race. Take five minutes to read it. It's direct, honest and unbelievably powerful.
The only other time I've felt so moved by the text of a political campaign speech was when I read this.

You said it dude. Finally, someone with a brain and a very large megaphone talks honestly about modern race relations. If he doesn't win the nomination, I am doing what any self-respecting white person would do and threatening to move to Canada. Much like 2004, I won't actually do it, but the threat will make me feel better.

We're used to candidates from Nixon to Clinton and beyond exploiting race for their own benefit. Instead of dodging the controversy to advance his campaign, Obama saw an opportunity and seized it in a way no politician has before. I think today's speech -- which he wrote himself, imagine that -- illustrates who'd best be equipped to answer that infernal red phone. Hillborg's
I would love someone to quelch a concern of mines and A LOT of potential backers. How can we reconcile the fact if one single tape exists of Mr. Obama in Trinity Baptist during one of these "fiery" speeches that this will end his campaign. How are we to be sure that the Republicans aren't holding on to that one until the general election?
