Obama's strength

One of the reasons I am impressed with Obama the candidate is that instead of running and distancing himself from a potential problem, he turns and confronts it and brings it into the open. He gave a speech today about race and the comments made by his pastor. It is will worth the time to read.

A more perfect union

And in case you missed it, he had been linked to a corrupt Chicago businessman named Rezko. Instead of prevaricating and playing to the soundbites, he went to both major Chicago papers and told them he would answer every question they asked.

Can you imagine if the Clintons had done that when Whitewater first became an issue? The time and energy and money that would have been put to better uses?
