Stop the presses, a man who has been the editor of the Harvard Law Review, a law professor, and a Senator, managed to write a decent speech himself. Himself!

Gawd, I hope that diary is parody.

Just don't think critically.

I love them screenshots of the DKos rec list.

By the way, I went over and clicked on that Bob Johnson diary and found this in there:

"I am not an Obama fanatic."

Huh, you could have fooled me...

P.S. Does anyone actually know someone in real life who cries upon hearing political speeches? Cause I don't, and I wouldn't want to either...

I'm refering to the "Obama brought me to tears diary" by RFK lives.

But where the heck is he? Is he running for anything?

And VC? Just building the record....

[x] Any (D) in the general. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.

Not well constructed, not well delivered. And full of lines that would be embarrassing displays of hypocrisy if anyone would print the truth and not the legend.

He can do better work than this, or at least I hope so if he's going to be our Pres.

Too bad that isn't on Kos' diary list. It belongs there.
So does "How many Obamagasms did you have? I had 3!"

And full of lines that would be embarrassing displays of hypocrisy if anyone would print the truth and not the legend.

Exactly. I fear his candidacy is a house of cards totally dependent on the media "narrative," one that needs Clinton. With her out of the picture, I cannot see how the media will keep this up against McCain in the GE. If even Obama supporters initially felt betrayed about Wright, what will happen if they ever know that it was Obama--not Clinton--who engaged in a truly polarizing, smear campaign? Since his trump card is being change himself, which rests on being an icon of racial healing, it seems like too much of a target for the right-wing to avoid.

God, I hope I'm wrong, because the right wing noise machine could distort this into the political version of Tawana Brawley. I don't put anything past them.

The beauty part of the unity thing is that the GOP will reliably follow suit. You've got to let go of those old frames, my friend.

As long as we're not bickering partisans, and we go to church (but not on the wrong days), everything's going to work out fine.

No need to worry then.

'He wrote it himself' and yet, 'it reveals a remarkable consistency.'

Are these people adults? I find this so juvenile. Almost as juvenile as MSNBC and CNN fawning over his speech.

Somebody please tell me that his grandmother is not still alive. I will feel doubly bad if she heard about her 'bigotry' on national TV today.

very much alive. Can you believe it? He threw his own grandmother under the bus.

Recommended Diaries brought me to tears.
