Obama's speech
Just watching the Obama speech. In my mind, he has finally morphed into the "Black Candidate" that he has striven so hard to avoid. Quote:
"... we will never be able to achieve ... our goals of universal healthcare, a more just economy, (etc.) ... until we can create a more perfect union (of the races in America) ..."
Wow. That's quite a statement. He is setting as a precondition for achieving all the other goals the creation of a "more perfect union". And, of course, only he can achieve it because of his (quote) "background and life story".
Ouch. When his speech gets deconstructed in the coming days, weeks and months, I'm afraid it will have "megalomaniac" written all over it. It's a sad sight, really.
