America. You just got served.

The comments that Jeremiah Wright made were ridiculous, and as an Obama supporter I was very concerned as to how he would react. I thought his media tour after the comments was effective, but I didn't think that he would be able to fight back the media hellstorm in the end. Then Barack Obama did something I didn't think he would be able to do. He took this situation with Rev. Wright and turned it into an impassionate, intelligent, and much needed dialogue on the state of race in this country. While he still condemned Wright's comments, he shed light on the reasoning behind his attitude while at the same time accurately stating the racial qualms of the white community. Obama was honest to America, and displayed the ability that he has claimed to possess over the past few months during his campaign. I know people give Obama greif, telling him that he is simply a great speaker, but people forget that the most inspirational and effective leaders that we've ever had in this country possesed the ability to inspire through words. Never in my short life have I seen some one with this ability as I see it in Barack.
