Well, finally a link that my pea-shooter dial up could handle...

Yeah, nice speech... I believe, however, that these are themes that the Obama camp has honed in on and will be pressing in the coming days...

Yes, Obama's detractors will harp on Obama's lack of experience and Obama handled that one well in last night's debate by pointing out all the "experience" that Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfelf had coming into office...

As fir Obama beibng the second coming of MLK??? There won't be another MLK... Or Bobby Kennedy... Or Malcolm X... These are different times... What Obama can bring is a paradyme change... He has allready stated he would meet with our "enemies" in the 1at year of an Obama administration... That, in itself, is a paradyme change... Clinton, like Bush, like her husband, like all the Cold War presidents, insists on pre-conditions... Pre-conditions are what has gotten US into the messes we are in... For Obama to say he would meet unconditionally is in MO, progress and fresh...

People want to make what is going on now like Cold War II but it isn't... It's very much a "hot" war and therefore requires fresh "non Cold War" thinking...

People, like John here and Nickhere, will try to frame Obama as some loose cannon who is ready to "bomb Pakistanj"... That isn't what Obama has said... What he has said is that if has knowledge of folks who are planning to attack US that he will go after them where they are... That's a far cry from "bombing Pakistan"...

Talk about electibility here, folks... What chance would you give a candidate who would say he wouldn't go after them??? This is like the old "Are you still beating your wife?" question...

There is no other answer if one doesn't wand to get a ***Swift Boat" kick in the pants...

Now, I consider myself purdy much a follower of MLK... I worked with SOC and SCLC in the 60's and early 70's but I could possibly vote for Obama but he wouldn't be my first choice so I hope that what I have said does not come off as some kinda Obama apologist or partisan but I will defend him against the usaul unfounded attacks that PR machines pump into people's heads that make them say stuff like "Obama says he'll bomb Pakistan" if he becomes the president...

This is what we say happen to Howard Dean in the '04 campaigne... Oh, Dean isn't electable... And, plus, he is a sceamer... Haha... Bull...

No, Obama is electable...

(But I think Bill Richarson would bne my firast choice among twe Dems...)

But, yeah, nice speech, Micelle... Keep on hammerin' away at that theme, girl... That is exactly what MLK did and would do if he were still with us...
