Mr. Obama's strategies for dealing with the racial demagogues in his past have failed. The first strategy for dealing with Rev. Wright's proclamations – including damning America and offering baseless charges that the government was spreading AIDS among black people – was to say he was absent from church. Then Mr. Obama equated Rev. Wright with a crazy uncle to be found in every family. Then he asked for a pass, saying that everyone has heard their pastor, priest or rabbi make statements they don't agree with.
Great article Juan! I must say, he is one of my favorite liberals.

Excellent article!!!!
One of the interesting paragraphs: To deal with this controversy effectively, Mr. Obama needs to give another speech. This time he has to admit to sins of using race for political expediency – by knowingly buying into divisive, mean messages being delivered from the pulpit. He has to say that, as a biracial young man with no community roots, attaching himself to Rev. Wright and the Trinity congregation was a shortcut to move up the ladder in the Chicago political scene. He has to call race-baiting what it is, whether it comes from a pulpit or calls itself progressive politics. And he has to challenge his supporters, especially his black base, to be honest about real problems at the heart of today's racial divide – including out-of-wedlock births, crime, drugs and a culture that devalues education while glorifying the gangster life.
yes, we all know how important giving speeches is. it really does a lot. I really think that barack's speeches are going to make people get along with others. after all, he does seem to have the power to brainwash. just ask the androids who voted for him.

Juan Williams doesn't meet the definition of a liberal. He's Fox's token black. Among other things he supported a tom (Clarence Thomas) for the SC. No wonder you like him.

A tom? Is that what you people are calling those blacks that don't fit your stereotype? How racist.

Co-sign.
Williams' buckdancin', head scratchin', shoe-shinin', chicken bone suckin' coonery, is the delight of the non-Black FOX News crowd.
Williams and his ilk have made a fine living on playing the "We're not like THEM" role. But what will these hucksters do when one of THEM is actually running the country?
Good lord, you guys are the most racist bunch of nuts!
Juan is also on NPR - does that make him their token black as well?
Why don't you read what he says and try and come up with something intelligent and thoughtful for why you disagree with him. I know that will be hard for the bots, but try.
Clarence Thomas - now there's a man with a wealth of accomplishments.
You Obama people are really a detriment to him, with your judgemental, racist, nasty attitudes.
