Both CNN guest just said all whites are racist because whites set the terms for discussion. They also said that blacks don’t worship with whites. My very large church has a large congregation of African-Americans.

The danger Obama and his spinners have with continuing to perpetuate the “Blacks use a different vocabulary than others” is that it implies the “others” are too stupid to understand Blacks. That could backfire.

I'd say it could backfire. It's a racist statement in and of itself.

You can bet this was a planned delay to get maximum noon time news coverage.

No, I bet he lost a good chunk of the audience. He needed a warm up band to fill in.

I actually think it is a decent speech and will help. The media will love it. Obama will escape damaged, but not dead.

Obama could read the phone book and the Drive-Bys would do cartwheels.

CNN: How will this speech play? Speech incredibly important.

Candy: He has to breach the racial divide [sic]

Huge task. Herculean.

Yes, I’m wondering if the “preacher” voice is going to come out today.

The whole concept of blacks using a different vocabulary than whites is ...really disconcerting.

Here we go...the speech begins now..
