Freedom Summer

It has become clear that Obama's supporters are beginning to lose faith and the desire to fight for the president if he drops the public option.

It takes nothing away from the absolutely brilliant campaign that Obama and Axelrod and Plouffe ran last year to point out that because of Jackson's two incredible campaigns, they started closer to the finish line.

I thought, maybe finally the last barriers separating blacks from believing they can get, and will get, what they strive for, can begin to be crossed.
