I think it was a bold move to take this controversy with his reverend and turn it into an opportunity to have a very real discussion about race that is an absolute necessity for our country going forward.<BR/><BR/>I won't say much more about it, as you have covered most of it already, but I have to say, I can't think of another politician who would stand up and do what Obama has done here. Most would go into damage control mode in the face of a similar controversy and hope that it would fade into the woodwork. I'm glad to see he has chosen to act differently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617569.post-19755526871266801242008-03-18T18:46:00.000-07:002008-03-18T18:46:00.000-07:00Yes, Obama is magnificent.
