And the interesting thing...
[Read the article: Bomb, bomb Iran?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is that the falling down economy is barely linked by anybody to the expenditures that are being swallowed up by the hungry hydra's heads of this war. Iraq is a beast that cannot be put down. Insurgents fall, and they just get right back up, regroup, raid again, bomb again, demolish oil infrastruture, hold hostages, and just go all fire hell on wheels twenty four seven.

Begrudgeful of the Grandmother anecdote
[Read the article: Moving beyond Obama and race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't know about you folks, but my grandmother used to talk about the old days when "certain people should always know their proper place in society." I don't think it's improper that Obama cited a very significant example of racial elitism, relating it from his own family. He cited this anecdote, brought it out into the open, and all that's resulted from this is some understanding, and some white indignation, some of it very livid, much of it coming from older white women. I don't believe that Obama has ever lost any love or affection for his grandmother, I do though believe he was illustrating by example, that many white people of his grandmother's time were inculturated with eletist ideas, that had their underlying basis in the color of a human being's s

Diane B
[Read the article: Moving beyond Obama and race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama is not having as much difficulty with indpendents as you might imagine. I'm neither a Democrat or a Republican, but a non-aligned, fully registered independent, and THE issue at the top of my top concerns is the war. This I feel is an issue with many other independents as well, and I will not ever even entertain the idea of giving the benefit of the doubt to a candidate such as Clinton, who voted not with calm reason or with her conscience, but with public perceptions pertaining to presenting a public visage of toughness as her first career concern. Her senate vote sinks and scuttles away any sympathy I could hypotheticically mange to hold for her quest to be president. I thnk her senate vote was sick, cynical, oppurtunistic, and obscene.

[Read the article: Moving beyond Obama and race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hear ya! It's "bred" into people, The point I made is, that with many of my grandmother's generation color consciousness, or contempt for people of color, was "inculturated" into them. I'm glad you could see through all the gauze around this itchy issue too by bringing out the actual text of the speech. This racism was inculturated, because it was acceptable to the culture of the time. This culture was enabled and existed by way of institutional racism. The old establishment.

I just think..
[Read the article: Moving beyond Obama and race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]..that I feel more fortunate than I ever figured I'd ever feel that some of the most famous promises of the 60's, might finally have a chance flourish, after many of the promises of that transitional era have become deflated by cyclical cynicism and deep seated defeatism. Smith, you might think in your fear frought imagination that independents are being bled by Obama, but only the opposite is true, independents are being fed by Obama, fed and fortified with hope and optimism. Fear won't fly, yet hope is as boudless as space and time.
