I don't know, I thought he fell a little flat. Even the end, where he
seemed to be hoping for a better response from his audience. It was
kind of muffled not unlike his speech. I don't think he pleased either
side of the issue, supporters or detractors. I expected a lot more
substance, I think, and I know I am simple, but I think he is one of
the most intellectual candidates we have seen in a long time, even if
I think he is too liberal for me.

maybe because he didn't get behind a pulpit and immitate his Preacha'!

That would have gotten his crowd more off center.

No, I just think he tried to walk a political tightrope and came

----------------------------------------------

I had a totally different impression. I didn't see it as a "political"
speech at all. It was more a "time out" from politics speech to expose
more of what he is, how he thinks and what he believes in.

I thought he very effectively got across the feel and image of being black
in America and of the remaining distrust that exists among groups with
different ethnic backgrounds. I thought he dealt with his nut case pastor's
comments with class and dignity.
I admire people who are loyal, even when that loyalty may hurt you
personally. He didn't give the pastor a free pass ... he condemned his
statements ..... but he also pointed out the good the pastor has to offer.

I thought it was very well written, delivered and had a strong message.

He is a great Orator. But, and it is a big but. He did not really explain
his poor judgement. Accepting the pastor for 20 years at Trinity, and
making him an advisor does not show good judgement. And that may be a
really bad thing when trying to get elected.

You may be right. Politically (meaning policy-wise), I would have a hard
time voting for him. I just thought that he hit the race issue and subject
of human interaction in a refreshing, non-combative and intelligent way. I
particularly like how he made the media look like a bunch of simpletons,
without actually trying to.

I agree with you - as a piece of oratory, it was excellant - well
delivered, effective, semantically perfect and done with flair.

Does not explain anything however. And despite CNN and MSNBC's
fawning over the speech, it did not come close to Dr. King's "I Have A
Dream" speech no matter what A. Cooper and Chris Matthews says.

Personally, I believe in what he says - I practice it. I don't really
care if you are black, blue, orange or from the Andromeda Galaxy. It's
not what you are, but who you are that's important to me.

I have some personal doubts that Obama believes it as I do. He says he
does, but in practice, maybe he doesn't.

I share enough of it already, the effective tax rate is something like 54%


Then you are obviously in the upper middle class range.
Due to the regressive nature of SS tax, the highest tax rate is right at the
SS cap. After you go over that your tax rate starts to go back down,
slowly, but the rate does go down.
That is why I think they should eliminate the SS cap - then it would be the
first true flat tax.




I agree...every damned dollar of income should be subject to SS taxation.

That would bankrupt the SS system due to them having to pay out more to
those who "contribute" more. Remember it is in a lock box, right?

I share enough of it already, the effective tax rate is something
like 54%

Then you are obviously in the upper middle class range.
Due to the regressive nature of SS tax, the highest tax rate is right
at the SS cap. After you go over that your tax rate starts to go
back down, slowly, but the rate does go down.
That is why I think they should eliminate the SS cap - then it would
be the first true flat tax.
I agree...every damned dollar of income should be subject to SS
taxation.
Not to mention an additional tax to pay for the war/reconstruction in
iraq & elsewhere.
Why stick future generations with this expense.
We'll just take over your natural resources. You are the 51st state.


By the time you're finished over there, you'll be so broke we'll buy you
for pennies on the dollar.........that is if the Chinese don't get you
first.
Let's see...the 11th province..mmmm


All we have to do is nationalize the national debt and China's politburo
can use our T-notes to wipe their asses.


Is that how y'all do business down there?

Why give em any more when the democratic controlled congress can't seem
to properly manage what they've taken so far?

I don't know, I thought he fell a little flat. Even the end, where he
seemed to be hoping for a better response from his audience. It was
kind of muffled not unlike his speech. I don't think he pleased either
side of the issue, supporters or detractors. I expected a lot more
substance, I think, and I know I am simple, but I think he is one of
the most intellectual candidates we have seen in a long time, even if
I think he is too liberal for me.

----------------------------------------------

I had a totally different impression. I didn't see it as a "political"
speech at all. It was more a "time out" from politics speech to expose
more of what he is, how he thinks and what he believes in.

I thought he very effectively got across the feel and image of being black
in America and of the remaining distrust that exists among groups with
different ethnic backgrounds. I thought he dealt with his nut case pastor's
comments with class and dignity.
I admire people who are loyal, even when that loyalty may hurt you
personally. He didn't give the pastor a free pass ... he condemned his
statements ..... but he also pointed out the good the pastor has to offer.

I thought it was very well written, delivered and had a strong message.

His statement that rejecting his pastor is a rejection of the black
community implies that the black community feels the same way as his
pastor. I don't think that's true, although there are *some* in the black
community who use the same language.

If I were a black who didn't believe that the USA developed AIDS for black
genocide, that we should be saying "God damn America", that we caused 9/11,
and the other comments from the pastor, I'd be ****ed at Obama's
implication.
