obama is set to give a speech tomorrow in pennsylvania confronting all the racially-charged issues that have popped up, no thanks to clinton.
from cnn:
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) — Far from putting the controversial issue of race behind him, Barack Obama has decided to address the issue head on in a speech Tuesday.
"I am going to be talking not just about Reverend Wright, but the larger issue of race in this campaign — which has ramped up over the last couple of weeks," Obama told reporters in Monaca, Pennsylvania.
Obama's chief strategist David Axelrod characterized the speech, to be delivered in Philadelphia, as "a discussion on race and politics."
"Given the events of the last few weeks, Obama felt it was time to address the issue of race and politics directly, and what it means in our country," Axelrod said.
moreit's too bad his speech isn't likely to have any effect on the ignorant, but it might be powerful enough for the superdelegates (of which obama has 16 to clinton's 6 since march 4) to see that, yes, we have a real leader here.
