Obama&#8217;s Speech is here. Here&#8217;s my first reaction (and here are others).  I want to respond now to the truth he raises about loving those who make us who we are, warts and all, and using that unconditional love of our deeply flawed, contradictory pasts and selves to bring about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama&#8217;s Philly speech is here.  My initial thoughts on the audacity of his campaign are here. 
Initial reactions from around the web are coming in.  I agree with Melissa at Shakesville about the absence of reaction to Wright&#8217;s comments about Clinton.  She links it to complaints (like mine) about elitism, and I&#8217;d only add that sexism is [...]]]></description>

Throughout this campaign, I - a Clinton supporter - have found myself relating more personally to the foibles of the Obamas.  I&#8217;m supporting Clinton for a number of reasons I&#8217;ve elaborated on previously, but I&#8217;ve often felt it was a real shame she [...]]]></description>
