[Dems2008] Re: Obama's talk today on race

izz, he has been saying that he wants his campaign to rise above
racial and ethnic divides. Yes, it is the Clintons who have most
wanted to remind the world that he is BLACK (or at least
multiracial). We all know that.

Have you however read or heard or paid any attention to his speech
today. I've now seen it twice, and read it twice. If you would take
off your Hillary Blinders and read the damn speech, you would see
that it is NOT IN ANY respect inconsistent with his campaign to date.

It is inconsistent with YOUR CANDIDATE'S racism; but don't confuse
Hillary with Barack.
