Don't start off thinking you're better or more liberal or more of a Democrat than I am just because you come from a Blue State while I come from a Red State.

Looking at the numbers, people are turning to substantive speech in long-form online. Jon Stewart captured the gist: people are shocked that Obama's treating us like adults.

People who read Obama's books see in them a man who doesn't think of himself as a finished product, but as someone who views himself as a canvas upon which life is constantly drawing new lines.

I exited Obama's speech last week thinking that if I ultimately do not vote for Obama, it will be for reasons other than his minister.

It is weird that the people who do think Obama implies moral equivalence are outraged that he is comparing his grandmother to a bigot like Wright.

There may not be a place in this culture for a history-making speech anymore -- I mean literally, no room for something of lasting value to sit there and be itself, to sink in and define the moment.

Obama does not condemn Rev. Wright for being extreme or for being angry, but for having a static view of society that ultimately doesn't lead to change.

In the day following Barack Obama's speech on race, the overall critical response trends positive. There are exceptions, of course, but most pundits,...

Obama is not Howard Dean, and the Wright videos are not the Dean Scream, because Obama has the delegate and popular vote lead, and we're deep into the primary season.
Rep. John Conyers | Posted 03.19.2008 | Politics
I hope Obama's speech is, as Bobby Kennedy once said, the pebble in the water that starts a "ripple of hope" of honest discussions about race that will change and unite us for a better America.

Obama showed America that he is the guy you want answering the red phone at 3AM. But he also talked to Americans as adults, showing he trusted the voters.

If it's not racism that's causing the disparity in media treatment of these preachers, then what is it?
Bob Franken | Posted 03.19.2008 | Politics
What bothers me most is that with all this -- Iraq, the racial divide, the economy -- we pay any attention to the new governor's sex life.
