Normally I agree with your columns, Ruben, but I think Obama is making you swoon a bit, here. That speech was not brilliant and brave: it was, in fact, a massive evasion of the questions surrounding the Obamas’ association with a racist hate-monger disguised as a preacher. Essentially he was saying “We’re all guilty, and my grandma is no different from civic leader who says the government created AIDS to kill Black people. So, assuage your guilt by voting for me.”
Scratch that. It was brilliant: a brilliant dodge.
