I am the one to call your bluff, & this is my climate."

Enough! 

Republican presidential nominee Senator John M...
Why Obama should release his righteous rage: "Obama has often said that he is running because of what Dr. King called 'the fierce urgency of now.' He needs to show that fierceness and that urgency. When we think of King, we usually think of him as resolute and dignified. But King was also filled with a prophetic anger, especially in the later years of his life. As a leader fighting for fundamental change in this country, Obama has to be willing to show us that kind of righteous anger. I don't know about you, but when I think about what George Bush has done to this country -- and what John McCain wants to keep doing -- I consider outrage the only rational and legitimate response. The last seven-plus years demand more than a beaming smile." — Arianna Huffington (Huffington Post)

The Obama Myth 

Factual Discrepancies to the Selma Claim: "Sunday's march in Selma, Ala., may have been a sacred commemoration of the 'Bloody Sunday' civil rights march of 1965, but beneath it all lurked raw politics, with Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., competing fiercely for black voters.

While local churches were packed with parishioners, just a few hundred yards apart on Martin Luther King Jr. Street, the rival Democratic presidential candidates made their pitches, both praising civil rights leaders for paving their way.

'Don't tell me I'm not coming home when I come to Selma, Ala. I'm here because somebody marched for our freedom. I'm here because y'all sacrificed for me,' Obama told a crowd." (KTRE)
Did anyone hear the soundbites from Obama's Selma speech? He certainly has developed a down-home accent recently. I hope this won't be a harbinger of a wholesale attempt to reinvent himself similar to blue-blood New England preppie Dubya's vote-trolling transformation into a drawlin' Texas shucks-jes'-folks common man.
