The Ho-Hum Obama Revolution

No race for the White House will ever be the same.

In this marathon primary season, and the news fatigue that has come with it, the news media sometimes lose sight of what's happening out there.

Their instincts have been dulled by cynicism, their view clouded by Reverend Wright, lapel pins and imaginary Bosnian snipers.

Sometimes they need to step back, and take in the big picture.

And this weekend that picture showed 75,000 people, in one of the whitest states in the country, out to hear a political speech by an African-American who is now within touching distance of the highest office in the land, the most powerful job on earth.

And just because the news media, for the most part, had a ho-hum response to that, doesn't mean other Americans should.

This is a revolution. You probably won't see another one in your lifetime.

Enjoy it.

but below the national average income.

Feeling a little low because it seems delusion is pervasive in this board among HRC supporters.

And someone I once admired (HRC) has disappointed the hell outta me.

But, your post reminded me that I'm FOR Obama. HRC is a sad footnote in history to me - already.

Think I'll get busy making phone calls for Obama. Do a little grass roots work - get me out of this funk.

Thanks!

these are the words of a wise sage gil scott heron. the media wants scandal real or manufactured. i am not tech savvy so i hope i brought this video over
