Re: Obama's speech today

That's funny, Peggy Noonan recently addressed that issue in
her most recent
column. She says McCain needs to get serious and start
talking to people
about his philosophy, why he wants to be President - to do
what Barack Obama
is doing, essentially. He isn't nuts, he apparently spends
time clowning
around with the press corps, and it gets interpreted as
serious news.

"Never seen anything like that.  I bet a lot of folks
in that
dealership were Republicans.  Most, based on snippets of
conversation
I heard, were Southerners.  Almost all were white.  And they
watched,
listened, and agreed with what Barack Obama was saying about
race in
America.

I decided today that there are a lot of good people in the
world.  I
decided that after all the slogans, after all the bumper
stickers, and
after all the excruciating hours of listening to Bill
O'Reilly divide
us, most folks don't hate most other folks.  And when
someone stands
up, and explains the situation clearly, concisely, and
directly, they
can see that, yeah, we have issues to work through and that,
yeah, we
need to do something.

Today's speech wasn't about right or left, black or white,
man or
woman.  Today Barack Obama gave a speech about basic human
dignity,
dignity that all of us deserve.  And my brothers and sisters
from OTP,
many of them folks I would've considered culturally very,
very
different from me just yesterday, watched, listened, and saw
with
their hearts and minds what Barack Obama was saying.
