wow...takes a while to read, but totally worth it..
man, that guy has a gift...
i'm almost fairly convinced he's Jesus Christ himself....ok..that sounds a bit flippant, but seriously, what a fantastic speach...for all our sakes, i really hope that guy is the next president...

he doesn't write it...
- he done said it real good thoughvanilla_cam
- he writes his speeches right after he walks on water and turns the dinner water into wine...he really is quite amazingDUKIE0822
- amazingDUKIE0822
- true, and even if he did.. its just a speechMeeklo
- he wrote itstupidresponse
- he did indeed write this one himself, jaline.khan

my guess (and this is just a guess mind you) is that he most likely has speech writers like any other politician...but i'm betting that he does a lot of it himself as well....especially for something as important as this speach...cuz lets face it..if he blew this one, he'd be in a bit of a pickle...
and he knocked it out of the park...
to me, thats more than just good delivery..i think he wrote a lot of it..- they usually outline things they want to say... advisors and writers try to edit and filter to beef it up734

- SPEECH dammit! ;-)danthon
- He wrote two books, was the editor of Harvard Law Review, no doubt the guy can writeukit
- still, he has not only one writer, but probably close to 15, watch the documentary "The persuaders"Meeklo

It is powerful. If he means any of it, hopefully he wins. I hate to say this country is breaking and it needs someone who sees it for its possibilities and not it's capabilities.

I agree that its a good speech but why would he choose to have that guy as his pastor for 20+ yrs?
- well...i dunno...but i listened to that pastors sermon...what exactly did he get wrong?exador1
- because he is saying relevant things about the states. finally, someone not candy coating this fucking place.vanilla_cam
- uhh...the Pastor thinks the AIDS/HIV is a US government plot to kill black people.Mimio
- well, not everything.vanilla_cam
- ok..that one may be a bit off the mark...but can ya blame a guy?..the us gov. has tried everything else ;)exador1
- The main objection to the pastor is his support for Farrakhan.CyBrain
- agree with exadorblackspade
- Iggyboo0
Can you blame the guy for having a pastor that has different political views of his own. I mean it's obvious that the two would differ. As he stated he knew the guy like family in regards to the 20+ years comment from mtgentry.

I actually respect him more for having relationships with people who may not have the same beliefs as he does. It tells you something about him.

seriously can anyone honestly say that they agree with every single opinion 100% that each an everyone of their friends has? its a rediculous idea. i am not political at all, but this was very well written

Good speech. I'm always impressed by his willingness to be transparent and disarm the criticisms while not slinging any more mud.

- aha, thank you kind sirharlequino

And really, is this guy (his preacher so horrible)? He said "God damn America" for treating its citizens as less than human. That fact that people are so shocked by it is 90% because they are not used to hearing a black preacher deliver an angry sermon.
This is typical of how the media deals with stuff. They take one shocking quote and put it on a loop for 48 hours without analyzing the context. Obama did exactly what the media didn't do, he put Wright's anger in context, he said he doesn't agree with it, especially the paranoid parts about AIDS, but those are feelings that a lot of the older generation that grew up with segregation still holds.
Even if you disagree with Obama, you have to admit he doesn't insult your intelligence. He took the issue head on rather than going for the easy cop out.
If this is how he deals with other issues, I have to say he will make a great president.

its not like the pastor is saying anything original, that conspiracy has been out there since the 80s...

I'm waiting for McCain to make his speech about the preacher publicly supports him, that you know called all Catholics whores among many other things:
You think we'll hear that speech? Not so much. Why? Powerful White Guy. See Obama's Preacher Speech.
- this man blows goats. i have proof734
- the rants of white southern preachers are on the news constantly...don't pretend like they aren't made publicDUKIE0822
- religion is a tool used to seperate people into groups and breed hatred...this is why it should be left out of politicsDUKIE0822
- we need an atheist to run for the presidencyDUKIE0822
- So McCain won;'t be giving a speech about him then?TheBlueOne
- is that mccains preacher?DUKIE0822
- you can't control who will and won't come out and support you...but you do have control when it comes to putting yourself in a pew on sunday mornings and listening to this stuffDUKIE0822
