http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Remarks_of_Senator_Barack_Obama_to_the_Hampton_University_Annual_Ministers'_ConferenceA beautiful speech.
EDIT: here's the part Drudge and the right wing on twitter is saying "OBAMA DECLARES HOW POOR PEOPLE: 'Need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office'... Developing... "
OBAMA: But we need to do a better job making sure that there are jobs in our communities. We need to provide economic opportunity in every corner of our country if we want to take the bullet out.
We know that we have to invest in transitional jobs too. When there are people who are homeless, veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder from this war in Iraq, and thousands of children aging out of foster care, we can't expect them to have all the skills they need for work. They may need help with basic skills-how to show up to work on time, wear the right clothes, and act appropriately in an office. We have to help them get there. That's why I have called for $50 million to begin innovative new job training and workforce development programs.

He's disgusting. As low as Rush.

(13,776 posts)2. um... thanks, Hannity?
I admit that I skimmed it but I don't see anything that I wouldn't be happy to have attention paid to. Are they going to quote Alan Keyes (at the end) out of context? If I were a Republican I'd be pretty underwhelmed here.
