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. Eisboch |

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. |

I particularly like how he made the media look like a bunch of simpletons, without actually trying to. Eisboch |

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. |

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. -- John *H* (Not the other one!) |
