Default Re: Obama Speech Tuesday morning 3/18/08

Cabo & Tal: I know there are stories on both sides. I simply told my story that touched my heart and broke my heart. And the reason I did this was to inform people, that were never touched by any of this, that this is not just a speech, this in not a movie. This is an issue that hurts people and kills people of both races. So many are so secure sitting on their lanai's, sipping coffee, reading or listening to the words and haven't experienced it. Yet they are either very quick to make judgements, saying even more demeaning things or they just hide their heads in the sand. It's a personal experience that I shared from my heart -- and I believe Barack Obama did the same. He's literally caught between a rock and a hard place. He's damned if he does or damned if he doesn't. I think it took a lot of courage to meet this problem head on. And again, I will say, I applaud him for that. Walk a mile in his shoes before condemning him.
