It was a great speech that needed to be made. It's one that will be debated and remembered for a long time.
I agree, i have issues but i am ok with obama, he is a good man. My vote goes for him for what its worth.
Obama’s New Found Friend
I watched Barack Obama's speech Tuesday on race and politics in America, and I am now officially an Obama supporter. I never gave a damn about politics; rarely ever did I vote. I just do not believe a word any politician utters...but that speech did it for me. It was genuine. It was powerful. More importantly, it was all encompassing--he spoke to and for everyone.
We have all heard the "I have a dream" speech and the "four score and seven year" speech, but those are all relics. No public servant of my generation or during my lifetime has ever inspired me like the aforementioned classical speeches...until now. It made me reflect on my own life, my own faith, my own attitude towards people, and my own attributes and flaws. That's what a speech is supposed to do.
I do not care for Hillary Clinton; she's just another politician. Until this moment, I had marginalized Obama in much the same fashion. But he has my vote now! If for no other reason than the promise of further inspiring speeches like that one. Imagine a president whose State of the Union address, actually addressed the entire Union...I mean didn't we all feel that at some point in the speech he was talking to us, or at least to our convictions.
I vow two things. One, I will vote for Obama in the upcoming Pennsylvania primary and urge everyone I can to do the same. Two, if this does not come to pass and Hillary wins the nomination, I will vote for John McCain and urge everyone I can to do the same. Because, I want to experience Obama as President. Hillary is just a regular politician, and bland as butterless toast. She should just concede to the better man and let us all experience the dream. If she is not willing to do that for us all, then she deserves no victory either. We've already suffered 8 years of Bush...McCain is just more of the same losing streak. So, I'm placing all my chips on the best hand I've seen in years. It's all or nothing. But I'm not settling for Hillary...I've seen Paris and will not willingly go back to the farm. If America is not inspired by Obama, then it lacks the ability to be inspired.
