Oh, well, sorry but I don't find Obama's any more sincere. Forthright does not equal sincere in my book.

I think he was masterful at saving his skin. Where was this speech before he needed it politically???

If he had made the speech with no provocation, he would have been accused of "playing the race card".

One can't be 100% candid, nor can one not take political expediency into account at all and still expect to be President. But at the minimum, it's nice to see someone who is candid while making political moves.
