Obama new speach

I unfortunately did not get to hear all of the speech but what I did hear was very poignant. His new speech was offering clarity on the recent attack on Pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr. The media main point was they wanted Obama to completely disown Pastor Wright and the church that he had been attending for the past 20 years. Obama key points was that he did not agree with something he heard from his pastor, but the man was considered family in his life and he would not disown him like he would not disown his white grandmother because of her fear of black people walking by or her making racial comments.

Every week Obama has to defend who he is and what he believes in. To give a few examples the first is:

1. Is he black enough? Because he has a white mother that makes the man not black enough?

2. Is he to white? Now that's a first, no matter how white you act you can believe one thing white people will never let you forget you are black.

3. Is he Muslim? I think that has truly been established from him attending his Christin base church for 20 years.

I am not surprise that he is receiving such attention, he is the first black american who may get the democratic nomination. Should we expect anything less?
