Damage control would have been to let the comments fade not to keep them in more news cycles with this speech.
Obama has a blanck check to speak out about race. Yet, obama will not do anything about his talking points. it's all fools gold. All he did was point out the frustrations of both racial groups, but he is never going to be questioned on how to solve it.
Hey, wanna know something. The welfare system screws everyone. It's colorblind.
Outsourcing screws everyone. Outsourcing is colorblind. Maybe, if we were all colorblind, we'd fix the problems better.
Because all he did was point out the frustrations of both groups without making any bold statements on how to fix them.
You want to know what his bold statement is for fixing race relations.
It's this.
Elect me, I'm white enough for liberals, and black enough to appease the "community" and make america feel less guilty. Change... yeah that's it.
Obama is just artificial frosting.
Until he proposes a platform which actually deviates from hillary clinton. Then yeah, i'll believe his change.

That's right. Being tortured and not giving in to the Vietcong pales in comparison to giving a superficial speech.
Thank GodisnotManny, you don't work for his campaign.
that songbird nickname must burn, deep down. but, i know who you support.
you're an idiot.
i just think it's puzzling to hear people constantly reminiscing about his stay at the hilton and don't ask why his comrades gave him the nickname. the moment he walked off that plane he was gold.
You should have left it without the edit.
If you think this speech was textbook political "damage control" then you are incredibly wrong. I don't know what more to say, but its pretty damn clear that this wasn't your run of the mill political speech. Its a 40 minute mesage on the racial situation in America that frames the origin of Wright's (and many others) comments and the outrage they brought out. It isn't a 1 sentence declaration of how horrible Wrights comments were. It was much much more.
I don't like mccain. I voted thompson then romney.
But that's not the point. Since when did Clitbake conveniently start believing millitary people, it sure wasn't around the Swift boat Veteran 2004 barnstorm.
You mean to tell me that someone who throws a pastor under the bus in order to seek the highest office in the land has balls.
all he did was, "hey i'm not some well to do Uppity Black radical".
if they were straightup military after capture, then they wouldn't have had the guts to adorn him with that tag. use your head igy
All you had to say was that you didn't listen to it or that you hadn't read it. Could have saved me some time.
So the swiftboat veterans are telling the truth aswell right?
I did listen to it. And actually, i wish i didn't. Could have saved me some time.
gee, i don't know. let me step into my time machine and i'll get back to you.
or would you rather stay in 2008 and discuss the reasons as to why the other 2 candidates don't belong in obama's league?
Manny do us all a favor.
When Obama actually delivers a platform different from hillary. THen you can crown him as the next political messiah ready to atone for our racial sins.
But McCain existed back in time was there to see it and is running in 2008.
Then your comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. In no way did he throw Wright under the bus - he did the opposite when the polticaly smart thing to do would have been to do just what you said.
And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions - the good and the bad - of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.
I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother
I believe there is more to a candidate than their platform.
Manny all I got to say is what I posted in another
thread. They guy is what he is a political animal who
can read a speech off of prompters. But when he
doesn't have those prompters he sounds just like what
he is a bumbling idiot.
What I posted earlier:
Yeah he can deliver a speech. He can also throw his
Grandmother under the bus and love his minister. He
is going to bring us all together. I don't think so. He
is a friggin liar in the first degree. Remember he wasn't
there for any of his most wonderful minister's sermon's
but now he was but just didn't agree with them.
He wants to raise taxes
He wants to have national health
He wants to surrender in Iraq
He supports his "hate" America minister
His wife has only liked America, it was such a mean
place, until he ran for President
Yeah he is going to bring everyone together. Get a
gripe Obama supporters, he isn't trying to bring anyone
together except the haters and liberal's. He is what he
is a smooth talking politicians and you better
recognize it.

Funny I didn't see the sky open, a choir singing in the
background and those heavenly sun beams shinning down
like you Manny. You are one dense individual.
becoming more and more irrelevant, ray.
Lets see;
Obama's experience............ X
Obama's stance on the issues ...........X, the same as hillary's.
......
You know what?
Even Bill Clinton practiced better third rail politics than obama.
What makes Obama the great uniter? anyway.
His speeking ablities?
Honestly dude, you don't believe in the guy, so why am I going to sit here wasting time arguing with you on the subject? Don't vote for him if you don't like him! Its fine. But don't say things that aren't true like you did above and then just ignore it when I point out how obviously wrong you are.
I believe in Obama because of what he says. Because of speeches like this. I can point to so many things in this speech that you'd be hard pressed to find equivalents for in any policy/speech/statement from any other modern American politician but there is no use pointing them out to you because you've already written it off.
