Trill Talk From Obama

20 03 2008

This is from Obama’s historic speech earlier today in Philly, PA, where he speaks on race & how it’s divided our country for decades. This will definitely go down as one of the greatest speeches (written by himself I might add) by a Presidential candidate. This just further illustrates Obama’s superior intelligence (which he received from Punahou Schools out in Hawaii), and don’t forget he was once an academic professor before politics became a vital part of his life.

Here is a small excerpt from this infamous speech:

“For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle - as we did in the OJ trial - or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.”
