I didn't see it, but I've seen a few of these speeches to know the routine. 1. Upper class Black leaders appear and say a lot of hot air and use buzz words. 2. Audience applauds. 3. People pat themselves on the back and go on living their normal lives. A colleague of mine have had this decision and we agree that more than talk needs to be. On a side note, the Black State of the Union Address has probably not even affected Obama's campaign nor his image in the eye of Black voters. Obama 2008!

Sure you can say that. The kind of thing all politicians do. The only difference is, once these people are elected into office, they try to make change.
