LIVE THREAD - Under Pressure, Obama Prepares for Race and Unity Speech
Fox News ^

Barack Obama is preparing to deliver a major address Tuesday on race, politics and unifying the country after being hounded by questions about his relationship to a pastor whose sermons have been laced with anti-American invective.
In a speech whose religious significance could compare to one given in December by former GOP presidential hopeful and Mormon Mitt Romney, Obama may be forced to explain the philosophy of the 8,000-strong Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where the Democratic presidential candidate has been a congregant for 20 years.
In announcing the morning address, to be delivered in Philadelphia, Obama would not say specifically what he will discuss, but suggested he wants to cool down the atmosphere after incendiary remarks by his pastor, retired Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., blanketed the airwaves over the past week.

Am I the only contrarian here who thinks this is a brilliant speech and is going to solve his problem?Which problem? Winning the nomination or the general election? Even if he wins the first, he won't win the latter. Not after this.

I’m an inner city teacher. The parents and the administration would like to THINK that it is someone else’s fault that their kids are failing.
It is the parents and the money chasing administration’s fault.

After hearing racist America hating Wright, I don’t want BO lecturing us about the hardships of blacks.Bears repeating. That sentiment does nothing to bring us together as Americans recognize hypocrisy when they hear it.
