SENATOR BARACK OBAMA: NEWS HE WON'T USE
|
Posted By: E. Joyce Moore on May 01, 2008 I saw a portion of the interview this morning of Senator Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. (You can watch online: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/24402983/) What a beautiful interview and to me spoke volumes about who they are as partners, as a team. But what I found out last night made me recognize who Barack Obama really is and I am filled with a respect that I cannot describe. Someone sent me a piece of news that has been floating out in cyberspace for at least a month or more, I thought it was contrived so I researched it and it's true. I shared it with a person I know who used to be in the media and she told me that the Clintons have been pressuring the media lately and this was probably why. But that's not what I am writing about. I am writing to say how much I admire and respect Barack Obama because he has NOT ALLOWED his campaign to focus on the personal or perceptively damaging matters of other candidates. He has got to know about some of these matters yet even in the firestorm over Minister Wright, he has not swayed from his focus on getting back to the real issues of the nation. And you know what? My first inclination was to let folks know what he hasn't discussed but I decided I am going to follow his lead and not talk about them either. I am even sorry I sent the resources to those I sent it to. Even if the information does reach daylight, I hope each person reading this remembers that Barack Obama chose not to run his campaign using guilt by association and sees the information for what it is, remembering how it affected him when they used Minister Wright. Here in Indiana the tide is turning. In the last twenty-four hours, two of the major Indiana Super Delegates have endorsed Barack Obama. Perhaps they have discovered, as I have, the depth of character this man has. You can't create character for an interview or a photo op. I just hope more will look at the bigger picture of what will be good for us as individuals, as a nation. I am proud of you Senator Obama.

I emphatically agree. Barack Obama is the ONLY candidate who DESERVES the candidacy. I have been posting commnents all over the place researching a paper on Race in America and over and over again I see negative comments about OBAMA, comnents not relating to issues that should be the priority. In the MSNBC interview, the interviewer often cut them off, mid sentence - a subtle disrespect, asked questions I felt most inappropriate etc. The Obama's handled this with much more dignity and restaraint that I would have, and I commend them both and will support them even when they turn up with a video of him blowing his nose as a child and therefore is the blame for global warming. Forever OBAMA!!!
