Exactly. Having now had a careful look at what he said....he said the straight honest TRUTH...and that is what you must never do in that incredibly corrupt and hypocritical situation that is modern politics and modern media in the USA.

It's disgusting to see him being attacked for it by people like Clinton and McCain, who really couldn't give a shit about what he said, truthfully, except that they see a momentary chance to do him some damage over it. I despair of a society that has grown so hypocritical and so unthinking as to attack a man for saying a plain truth like what Obama said in the context he said it in here.

There are a lot of people out there who clearly cannot face reality...give them predigested oatmeal instead...give them precooked patriotic cliche slogans that mean absolutely nothing...keep them asleep and happy.

It will be a miracle if anyone who has anything genuinely thoughtful and insightful to say about America wins this coming election.
