I feel like a political playwright. My speeches inspire, instruct, and motivate. The reviews of my speech on ‘race’ in the aftermath of Pastor Wright’s incendiary comments are pouring in and they’re mostly positive.
The only thing different about this speech was leaving behind the ‘preacher’ in me and simply addressing the audience, and the television audience, as if they are adults. They’re not, but it made them forget about Pastor Wright and remember me as the voice of reason and change in a world full of turmoil and anger.
And I got to mention half a dozen times that my mother is white and my grandparents are white. Pennsylvania, here I come.
Michelle Malkin called me, “Barack Obama, the self-anointed, soul-fixing, nation-healing Political Messiah.”
Some may ask the question, ‘Why did the future author of racial harmony stay with a preacher whose black nationalist leanings were no secret?‘
The answer to that is easy. We all knew that Pastor Wright had too much to drink before a sermon, so his words carried less import. Besides, I can fix any problem with a speech.
