Foxy,
You may well be right with your analysis of what Rev Lowery was saying but if many Americans come up with the same interpretation as KMB, it illustrates just how difficult the Presidents job will be. In less than 24 hours he is being criticized for something somebody else said.

No matter what he does, he will be accused by some who are suspicious of his intentions and on the other hand he will be accused by others for abandoning them if unrealistic expectations are not met.

I wish him every success in the job, but boy is he up against it.

I agree with merediths summation of the reverends speech.

Poorly chosen words for what should have been a crowning moment.

Anyone who enters into debate on the basis of skin colour has already acted with discrimination. It is the same basis of wether one has brown eyes or blue eyes, blonde or brunette hair. It is a natural genetic characteristic that cannot be changed. The logic of his statement could read "may all the brown eyed people see the truth".

Perhaps he ought to have a talk to his creator and realise his ignorance of genetic design. While the identity of colour is mentioned America will continue to be socially fractured. Prayers on the basis of generalisations may please some but fail to impress the Lord of all the Earth, who designed colour and gave intellectual giftedness to man.

I certainly hope that Obama is going to be a president who is black, & not a black president. That would be a disaster for the US.

Thanks CR!

Banjo,
It's totally reasonable to hold him (and his machine, people, what ever term you want to call it) to account for the opening speeches.

Sure, he will be dammed just as GWB was constantly.

He doesn't have super hero status cuz he's black for me. He is just another bloke in a job as far as I am concerned. He will affect my world so I care, I will have no problems appreciating things I think are good from him either.

TRUTHNOW78,have just read all your comments,like it or not it smells and for sure,your idiotic last comment proofs it to be so,also would you be so kind and show or backup.your last comment
