Now, for Obama - His speech was brilliant, but he offered no solutions. Therefore, I look at his speech writers. I particularly focus on Theodore "Ted" Sorensen, the adviser whom John F. Kennedy once called his "intellectual blood bank," and who is lending his unabashed support -- and eloquence -- to the Obama campaign.

Thanks for the sincere compliment. I appreciate everyone's contribution to the discussion. It may seem like there is very little progress in discussing this. But it is always better to air the dirty laundry than to keep it buried.
No solutions? I thought his solution was to promote dialog so that statements like Wright's are not so alarming. The dialog will help to bring closure to a very painful, not so distant past.
In the process of the dialog, you find common ground from which to build a bridge of reconciliation. In the process of the dialog, the participants will find "solutions" that can be applied everyday at the individual and corporate levels-- solutions that foster understanding and forward thinking, brotherhood and progress in our country's march to racial harmony.
None of this would happen without the dialog.
It is established that Obama writes many of his speeches himself. Sorensen may have a role, but Obama has had eloquence before he had Sorensen.
