LA Times about Obama appearance on Letterman


"It's important to realize that I was actually black before the election," Obama pointed out. "That tells you a lot, I think, about where the country is at."



I think this sums it up perfectly. That's MY President ya'know.

2. It's important to realize he's got no choice
but to say nobody could possibly be racist.

Despite the fact that more Arkansans voted for the Taxachusetts Liberal John Kerry than for Barack Obama.

That tells you a lot, *I* think, about where the country is at.

3. And mine! I can't believe the humor he shows under such pressure.
The frenzy the Repugs are in at the moment, is a good clue that they are frustrated and don't know how to get out of this mess they're in. I don't recall another period of time when so many Repugs wiggled and squirmed as much as they have in the last 9 months.

It's difficult to even laugh at them anymore.
