Reply #18: Maybe HRC will begin using her gender more in speeches

[BenDavid]

as obama has been making oblique reference to race.Obama's stump speech continues his oratorical practice, patterned after Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech, wherein identical lead-in words, followed by slight shifts in meaning, are repeated at the beginning of a series of sentences, most notably at or near the close of a delivery. By the use of the word "believe" and he invoked Dr. King's phrase, "the fierce urgency of now," as a key concept of his candidacy. He used it again on Meet The Press, December 30th. Illustrations chosen by Obama's speech writers are race-related. That can be no accident. One illustration blatantly promotes revisionist history. Abraham Lincoln resisted Confederate succession with force of arms not to free the slaves, but to save the Union. Putting aside whether it yields him the votes to win the nomination, is there anything worthy of criticism with regard to Senator Barak Obama's somewhat oblique playing of the race card? That is for all to answer.....
