I thought that Obama gave a great speech till I went over to Mydd and now I'm confused. Was Obama speech a smear job? This comments make my head spin.

Smearing others to further your own political career -- as he just did in this speech -- is not "taking a chance."

I think I missed the speech this person was listening to.

As the first woman candidate for vice president in our country's history, attempts to smear Ferarro's good name and long history of supporting progressive causes is simply inexcusable.

So Obama speech was bad in their eyes because Ferarro was attacked? Wait what world are they coming from didn't Ferarro do the attacking? Was Ferarro Mugged and it all a myth?
then there is this comment

Senator OBAMA_ HOW can you ask us to act / " do our part" when the 1st instance leading to multiple instances of your pastor using hate speech. YOU SIR DID NOT ACT YOURSELF! you sat thru it for decades... to add futher INSULT TO INJURY - you rewarded him by asking him to join your campaign!
I know the cultish obama followers are in their charles manson seance moment... But what a piece of crock to preach to us to act on these divsions , while he himself did jack when it was times to act!
get you new incense's out obamabots and sing ha ma na , ha ma na ... but his own words contradict his ACTIONS!

This is the model which Alegre says Dailykos should become?

Obama can give a great speech, no doubt, but this was no home run (despite what the MSM has to say about it). He changed his position on Wright, saying he hadn't heard the offensive remarks, but then he had. He brought Ferraro into it, when he himself said those things about himself. He didn't denounce the members of his campaign who injected race into the campaign and who are part of the problem and not the solution. He didn't say what he would do as President to improve race relations.
Yes, I am an HRC supporter, so I'm apt to be more critical. But this speech should have been geared towards me and other HRC supporters, as well as undecided voters. His supporters will support him anyway and think he did a brilliant job - he has their vote already. He needs to get people like the rest of us to buy into his campaign and he hasn't made the case yet, and I don't think this speech will do it.

Wait my head is spinning again Obama was suppose to address Clinton supporters demands and not speak from his heart?

Obama basically let Revernend Wright off the hook for his racially divisive comments and threw Geraldine Ferraro under the bus. Folks, that is Obama Unity!

There was a bus invovled here? I thought it was a speech where was the bus?

His willingness to label women voters who support Clinton as "closet" racists speaks volumes about why this candidate has a poor to non-existent record on women's issues. We may also assume, if elected, women can expect more of the same "iron my shirt" mentality from this candidate.
Obama and his supporters need to realize that women understand the sexist "code" - the words and phrases that men use to minimize the status, power and influence of women. We saw it today in his speech and we will remember it.

I'm confused what speech was MyDailyDenial listening to? Is this the reality base that we are suppose to support as Clinton supporters? Now apparently Obama is sexist?
