Barack Obama gave what could be deemed as an eloquent and courageous speech the other day on race and racial politics in reaction to the controversy over the comments by his spiritual advisor and pastor of twenty years Reverend Jeremiah Wright. When you get beyond the words and style of the speech, however, questions still remain.
Now Obama supporters are talking about the other members of UCC in order to defend Obama from the remarks of his pastor Jerimah Wright. They point to Oprah, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan as being members and ask why people don't hold them accountable for Wright's words.
Let's us see...
I know that a lot has been said back and forth during this campaign but I do remember that Obama stated he would fire anyone who attacked Hillary in a negative or personal way. Does the below qualify?
"HILLARY Clinton has been branded a "monster" by one of Barack Obama's top advisers, as the gloves come off in the race to win the Democrat nomination.
In recent TV appearances Mrs Clinton had looked desperate and on the back foot.In an unguarded moment during an interview with The Scotsman, Samantha Power, his key foreign policy aide, let slip the camp's true feelings about the former First Lady."

Tonight at 9 PM Eastern on the eve of Super Tuesday there will be a national town hall event that will be a conversation between Senator Hillary Clinton and the country.
This event will give Senator Clinton a chance to hear from all Americans about their hopes, fears, concerns, and vision of their future and will let Senator Clinton explain her views on how to help the United States to get back on the right track, to get us to true universal health care, to fix our economy, to get us out of Iraq with honor, to address the dangers of global warming, to combat poverty and hunger, and how best to protect the United States from future threats.
From Hillary Clinton's Website
On Monday, February 4, Hillary will answer Americans' questions in an unprecedented national town hall giving voters in Super Tuesday states the chance to make their voices heard.
The town hall, hosted by former ABC News anchor Carole Simpson, will air on Hallmark Channel and be streamed online at HillaryClinton.com. Hillary will anchor the town hall in New York, while President Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and national and local surrogates will serve as hosts at events in the other states.

This will be a great opportunity for all of you to see Hillary Clinton and listen to her on her solutions for America and for her to have one final opportunity to ask for your vote prior to Super Tuesday.
