There will be endless commentary on this incredible speech, but it’s important for every American to see it and form their own impressions.

In the Bizarro World of the Hillary Clinton campaign, you can do something, and then accuse your opponent of doing what you just did with a straight face without a hint of irony. Here’s the latest from the “elite” Clinton team:
“The path that they’ve chosen is quiet clear,” said Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s press secretary. “The Obama campaign is going to attack Sen. Clinton, they are going to engage in a full assault, they are going to engage in Republican talking points to pursue it… Rather then choosing to build Sen. Obama, they have chosen to tear Sen. Clinton down.”
Yes, they think you’re stupid.
It’s the same kind of “logic” that Hillary uses when she says that the Michigan primary was “fair” even though Barack Obama’s name was not on the ballot and she is quoted as having said before the primary that the primary did not count.
Andrew posts an entire sermon from Reverend Wright, Obama’s old pastor. The networks have been playing clip after clip of some of Wright’s offensive comments, leaving the impression that every sermon he gives has this type of language.
The sermon posted by Andrew is called “The Audacity of Hope” and Barack Obama used this as the title of his second book. When you read the sermon, you see a pastor doing what you would expect from a pastor, giving a sermon about finding hope through one’s faith. It’s a good sermon.
After reading this, it is easier to beieve Obama’s claim that most of what he heard at Trinity were sermons about Jesus and family.
Final delegates have been allocated in Iowa at the state convention, and Barack Obama has picked up 7 more delegates as some John Edwards supporters switched to Obama. This is big news considering that Hillary only netted 9 delegates out of Ohio.
Hillary’s only hope is that the Wright controversy explodes the Obama candidacy. So far, there’s some evidence that Obama might be talking a short-term hit, as the Rasmussen poll narrowed his lead sharply in one day.
The key is whether Obama can recover and use Wright’s outrageous statements as a call for unity. He started that today when speaking in Indiana, invoking Bobby Kennedy and others who implored Americans to reject anger and hate and to unite around a common purpose.
This is the theme of his campaign. He just might be talented enough to turn this fiasco into a positive message of reconciliation.
A former colleague explains how Obama approaches problems. They key is his interest in hearing and exploring the other side of the argument.
