kaolelo discovered 4 months ago- "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union." Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787. The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation's original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations. Of course, the answer to the slavery question was already embedded within our Constitution - a Constitution that had at is very core the ideal of equal citizenship under the law; a Constitution that promised its people liberty, and justice, and a union that could be and should be perfected over time.

- If you read or heard that speech and came away unmoved or uninspired by a bit of it--then you should really look into major organ donation, and immediately. Because you clearly are just taking up space. BHO doesn't distance himself from his family pastor or disown him--he corrects him. The real genius of the speech is that Obama gives voice the same valid arguments and points that Rev. Jeremiah Wright is being chided for--but puts them in a measured, contextual tone that an audience of mixed company (mostly that the American people NOT a member of Trinity United) can identify with. And Obama does so without the 'chickens come home to roost' theatrics that a churched audience might find friendly. I ask the conservative critics the following: Assuming that there were points in the speech that you agreed with--would you ever expect them to be expressed so elegantly and with credibility from ANYONE involved in active politics from the right? And if you do, then why the hell aren't they more visible?

- An impeccable speech; Obama defies ALL impossibilities.

- I have said repeatedly he talks a lot and says little. I'm not certain this can change that.

- I would be very proud to have this guy as my President! and he wrote the whole thing himself!!! The first major speech from a president or presidential candidate since 1969!

- From the page: "The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright's sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning."
