I am glad to see him working to bridge gaps as well. I think today has been significant on both the foreign and domestic fronts for our nation as a whole.

A thought -- One way to view the time since Super Tuesday is that Obama, with his February run, delivered a near knockout blow to Hillary. &amp;nbsp;It wasn't quite a knockout because the electorate or the media or the democratic party had some hesitation on whether whites would except Obama as a candidate in sufficient numbers. &amp;nbsp;Misconsin seemed to allay those fear, Ohio re-ignited them. &amp;nbsp;And so here we are. &amp;nbsp;If This very good speech by Obama moves us past that question, then it is truly game over. &amp;nbsp;Hillary is out. &amp;nbsp;My guess is that it will. &amp;nbsp;Anyone who was &amp;quot;on the fence&amp;quot; about whether Obama's blackness should give them pause can only have seen his speech as honest and comforting and sympathetic to all races. &amp;nbsp;Anyone put off by his frank speech would never have voted for him anyway. &amp;nbsp;People on the fence &amp;nbsp;just want to know that Obama won't turn into Wright in the general election. &amp;nbsp;Everyone now knows he will not. &amp;nbsp;That is the last test he had to pass. &amp;nbsp;My guess is the polls will show he did in the coming days.</description></item><item><title>McCain in Jerusalem</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/18/781524.aspx#781709</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:26:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:781709</guid><dc:creator>Audrey Fryer, Vancouver Island, Canada</dc:creator><description>He doesn't mind killing 1 million Iraqi people (which includes children). &amp;nbsp;NEVER AGAIN.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>McCain in Jerusalem</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/18/781524.aspx#781718</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:30:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:781718</guid><dc:creator>Karen, NYC</dc:creator><description>&lt;br&gt;I was checking McCain out today on the news as he sat with King Abdullah and thought... &amp;quot;That's one arrogant man&amp;quot;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here's the problem with McCain, he wears his emotion on his sleeves as if someone OWES his respect or if he's above it all.

I often listen, and sometimes agree with Michael Savage--God help him. So why do I listen? &amp;nbsp;I think in the end it is because I find that I AM SO SELFISH, AND BARROCK IS SO SELFLESS in all aspects of his stoic persona. Furthermore, I value loyality, in my family, friends and leaders--but most of all in my Leadership. &amp;nbsp;The only place that I have really experienced loyalty in my leadership was when I was and NCO in the military. &amp;nbsp;We truly looked out for eachother's well being. &amp;nbsp;Then, this Barrack fellow comes along and holds on to what appears to be a heavy weight around his neck (R. Wright.) &amp;nbsp;Not only does Barrack not drown, but he pulls the weight up and gently sets it down on the ship. &amp;nbsp;Now I'm &amp;nbsp;thinking bad thoughts--how can this guy excuse that guy. I wouldn't excuse that guy--he screwed-up my campaign. &amp;nbsp;But then I remember--I AM SELFISH and Barrack is selfless--like when we were in the army, taking care of one another.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think I will vote for Obama--just to see if he is truly what he appears to be. &amp;nbsp;Let's see if he can bring our two disfunctional parties together, and restore the dignity, honor, and pride of America by ridding ourselves of special interest groups.</description></item><item><title>McCain in Jerusalem</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/18/781524.aspx#781899</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:28:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:781899</guid><dc:creator>Perry &amp;quot;Hussein&amp;quot;, NYC</dc:creator><description>Please notice how busy the media has been NOT reporting that Saint McCain's mid-east tour is a total taxpayer-funded campaign stunt!
