A presidential candidacy on the line, a major speech about prejudicial reservations and voter trust tied to a religious history. Obviously not a full parallel to Barack Obama's make-or-break speech this morning about Reverend Wright and racial matters (a divisive radical priest and credibility issues were not part of the 1960 situation), but close enough to mention.

I'm so sick of the media creating new "make or break" moments in this campaign every 2 days or so. Yes, this is an important speech. But to say this makes or breaks his campaign for the nomination is absolutely ridiculous. He's ahead in delegates, he's won more states and he is ahead in the popular vote. All things she'll never catch him on. Fuck MSNBC.

So basically he said "The fact that I go to a crazy black church is a sign of the racial problem that only I can heal."

Damn, he is good. It's sort of like Gore Vidal's line "Only Nixon could go to China, because only Nixon wouldn't have Nixon at home calling him soft on Communism."

I still think his crazy black church will be a dealbreaker in the general with lunchbucket whites, but I think he's largely defused it among his base of blacks and white liberals.

Here's where having ACTUAL experience would help. Obama could have easily deflected this by pointing to some accomplishment, any accomplishment, as a way to show he doesn't believe in the wacky stuff his church has been teaching him almost his entire adult life. Otherwise, we're left with nothing but a "just trust me" ... from a politician.

SaveFarris -

if the fact that he has been a part of the largely white establishment for several years now doesn't prove to you that he is not, in fact, railing against the white establishment, I'm not sure what he have done that would prove it to you.

I love this "no experience" meme that gives Hillary credit for time her husband spent in office.

He's in a lot of trouble on this. A good speech isn't going to solve it.

if i were an american voter i would be less worried about senator obama's "wacky church" and more concerned with the fundamentalist christian right and their powerful lobby.....

You assume that since I used the word "experience" in a post, that means I'm backing Hillary. You assume wrong.

christian says ...

Andy Sullivan's slobbering fawning and unhinged man-love doesn't make his take anymore palatable:

"But I do want to say that this searing, nuanced, gut-wrenching, loyal, and deeply, deeply Christian speech is the most honest speech on race in America in my adult lifetime."

And if you're not "deeply deeply Christian" -- well, look out. I guess I'm fortunate in name.
