As a believing, positive person, I’m optimistic that barriers can fall and that honest discussion is useful and can be very promising. My pessimism sneaks up on me when (not without justification I fear) I notice that the speaker might have an agenda (like election to high(er) office!) that renders the discourse less-than-honest!

Rather than run for the office of the Presidency, and since he his found to be so uniquely qualified, Mr. Obama should quit the campaign and make a career of making the case for unity all the more effective!

Blessings!

He does seem to have a handle on where race relations should go, listening to his speech. However a speech does not tell you about the man. The old axiom, actions speech louder than words apply here. Senator Obama’s membership in a church and a relationship with a pastor who has made statements that are racist and anti-Christian, speak volumes. Obama must have known this. This goes to Obama’s lack of judgement. This man is too young, niave and inexperienced to be President. His foreign polices and domestic agenda will take this country down a dark road, that I am not sure we can recover from. The best word to decribe it is “Dangerous.”.....Thank you.

Has he worked toward uniting American’s of diverse ethnicity, faith, or 0politics?

His record in the Illinois and U.S. Senate are not indicative of bipartisanship. We need a return to the ‘self evident truths’ as identified in our Declaration of Independence. This ‘most liberal’ member of the Senate is for more government and less individual liberty.

It is my opinion that he doesn’t seek a change from our current trends of government, but more and more government—the anti-thesis of faith based personal responsibility of our original founding documents.

We need proofs from his past that support your apparent beliefs in him.

As of now, I have no candidate that I can cast a positive vote for. I will be voting against the candidate I think is least desirable to hold this important office of President of the United States of America.
