Misleading, racially charged Obama newspaper lede of the day

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A black-skinned man raised by a white family, Barack Obama has had a view of both sides of the racial divide unlike any other presidential candidate in history.

Holy cow. The man's mother is white. It's not like he was a black child dropped on the doorstep of a white family.

Of course, the media coverage of Obama's speech today has been more fawning than ever. Comparing it to JFK's "don't hate me 'cause I'm Catholic" speech. Saying he aimed to bridge the racial divide when he was actually just dipping into his oratorical skills to try to get himself off the hook over Paster Wright. And, notably, defending his association with Wright as a key tie to the black community -- thus essentially enforcing a racial divide instead of MLK's dream of one colorblind community hand-in-hand.
