Craig,

"Bill Moyers is interviewing Orlando Patterson and another man whose name escapes me about Barack's Father's Day speech."

Why?

Craig: Thank you so much for posting that link to I got your back Barack! -- Just exactly excellent. Excellent. Thank you!!

The added link at the update -- to Phoenix Woman's diary called "It never was America to me" -- is also great and worth reading IMO.
-----
Also, for anyone who hasn't read this already or wants to refresh their memory from 2005 ... Here is Barack Obama clearly and publicly stating some aspects of his actual political perspective ... which oddly enough in approach and tone looks suspiciously like his enacted political perspective, like, well ... now:

Tone, Truth, and the Democratic Party, by Barack Obama, Sep 30, 2005

craig hickman, that link . . . it’s a pretty ridiculous argument. “he’s a constitutional law professor!” exactly. “he will do the right thing when president!” so said george bush.

it’s ironic, really, that half of the folks who were vigorously pushing congress to stand up on fisa in february, are now willing to turn a blind eye just because barack obama has had a big gulp of republican kool-aid and has bought into the old, old rethug meme that dems are weak on terror. it’s ridiculous. and he had it going on when he was confronting this bullshit, not selling out to it.

rikyrah, I didn’t even realize no press was there.

Interesting, indeed.

nichelle,

The Keebler Elf did a show on this, and it was amusing to watch the GOP Representatives dance around the double standard.

interesting how there was no press invited to the meeting between Obama and The CBC, but reports abound.

@ Truthseeker:

Here's what it is: They see that Obama winning the nomination is the beginning of the end of the Old School Black Leadership strong hold on political power in the Black community. Not only is Obama now the leader of the Democratic Party, he's the leader of the New School Black Leadership.

Watson and her crew see that the show is about over for them.

History will say that we misunderestimated George W Bush

America’s left is so blinded by their own hatred of ‘W’ that they have been unable to see or even understand the facts since the election of 2000.
