The speech WOULD have (5.00 / 1) (#95)

made things worse if it were Clinton. Imagine if her pastor said such things and she responded with the exact same speech. The punditocracy would call it triangulating and arrogant. Why? Because giving a speech about race is not the same thing as answering voters' serious (rightly or not) questions about your pastor's ideology. That calls for a candid interview(s), not a speech on your own terms to insulate yourself from all race-related criticism. His speech just dug the trench deeper between Clinton/Obama supporters -- his loved it, while hers saw it quite differently. Woe to those stuck in the middle.
