Senator Barrack Obama answered his critics on race and Rev. Wright today. He spoke before the Constitution center in Philadelphia. In answer to the rhetoric of his pastor and opponents, the senator told those gathered that the racial divide, for all its ugliness and beauty, is part of him.
“As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. … 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,”
(who was given to making negative racial remarks.)
That man can sure give a speech! His speaking has a rhythm to it and while he meanders off course at times, his batting average is still pretty good. But is this going to take the heat off him? I think it will, at least until the next Obama controversy stokes the press. Hilary made a wise move when she and her campaign stayed out of the Wright controversy because I think it would have come back to bite her later. Senator Obama's talk today probably secured him even more votes. The senator is a natural born speaker and writer. In general, I do not naturally trust writers.
I am one myself.

Spelling error: It's "of your post" not "off"
Spelling errors: Also "wrore" should be wrote. Haha, I'm just giving you a hard time man.
Thanks for the good words.
Congrats obabma! You are now a politician who has been criticized for something.
