| Weird! I just saw Malcolm X's demeanor in Obama and Googled it |

Malcolm X/Obama and it's not just me. I read his autobiography in '69 I think. It's his same speaking style and posture.

The circumstances and context of his comment, however, are too haunting and sad to think about long, however.
