A few comments on Obama's March 18, 2008 speech
Obama's speech on March 18th - has rattled American society - and has left many of us in awe of this man.
Have we ever had a U.S. President (besides Jefferson and Kennedy) who could have presented the same eloquence?
As I have mentioned before, I believe that our ability to support and listen to Obama was made possible because of the disastrous policies and actions of the current administration.
It is difficult not to idealize when you see a potential president with such gifts while you have a president that at times appears to be barely functioning as a human being.
Perhaps pro-immigrant supporters could spend some time analyzing and evaluating Obama's position (if they haven't already) and decide whether or not they think he will also support Latinos and push this country beyond the tradition of black/Latino
tension.
