Yes, we can.

Okay, I've seen it. For an adult discussion about race, I prefer Lisa Lampanelli: vulgar remarks about other groups that are all sort of grounded in truth.

But seriously: What struck me most about his speech was that his bow to the anger and frustrations of white Americans was straight Michael Moorer: your anger is understandable, but you're picking the wrong targets: You shouldn't be upset at the "lower classes," job loss, black crime, etc. You should be upset at the federal government and big corporations because there's no safety net.

Mind you, I agree with Michael Moorer. I just doubt that anybody will call Obama a crank and a hothead over these observations.

Whoops. Make that Michael Moore.

Michael Moorer? Well, I wouldn't call him names either.

Now i know why I spent part of yesterday afternoon thinking about boxing. Stop with the not-so-subliminal messages, SL.

I had a feeling this was going to happen: Bill Richardson endorses Obama

Oops- I just saw GD beat me to it in the other faux-Bama thread.

I haven't been all that vocal about the election yet but I do have to say this and it's not all that cheery:
I worry that if Obama or Clinton win the general election that either of them might be offed. First African American, first woman, wanting change etc. I just worry. I feel it every time Obama invokes the name of Martin Luther King Jr. It kinda creeps me out.
