Shelby Steele's Opinion on The Obama/Jackson Flap


Black Conservative, Shelby Steele has written his opinion on the Jesse Jackson/Barack Obama controversy in the Wall Street Journal. Steele writes that Jackson "hates" Obama because Obama has taken away Jackson's "moral leverage" against the establishment, trading it for gratitude and becoming the Anti-Jackson.

He also argues that Obama's candidacy is more cultural than political, and that Obama is "politically invisible' because of his recent flip flops. Steele's take is an interesting one, and pretty accurate in my opinion. Obama will ultimately have to develop a political core to truly become an agent of change.

I think its terrible that WE have to criticize each other so much. Are we really that insecure. I never heard this much criticism about any other candidates.
But this is a free country-speak at will.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
