Senator Obama's political views may be 180 degrees from Ronald Reagan's, but like the former president, Obama has studied the stage craft of a winner.

I can't help but think that if Reverend Wright were a "Clinton problem" he would be a hard man to find. Tonight Jeremiah Wright will sit for a nationally televised interview with Bill Moyers. That's Change.

Doodling over some of the reactions to Senator Obama's speech on race.... I'm not sure if the country is ready.

Yesterday I took a break from my work to watch Senator Obama deliver a speech about race relations in America. Sometimes we can recognize a transformative moment in history as it's happening i.e., man steps on the moon, Kennedy is shot, a plane crashes into the World Trade Center. No matter what follows, you know the world will never be the same. Other times, society needs to digest it and history put said moment into context. Whether Obama goes on to loose the primary race to Senator Clinton, capture the nomination but loose in the general election, win the presidency but become an ineffective president, or win the presidency and become a transformative figure in American history will likely be the context by which we remember this speech. I hope I can someday say I remember watching the speech while I scribbled this doodled on a napkin in my kitchen. That would mean that history has judged Obama to be the latter. Can we do it? I'm not sure.
