Obama's message is that it is time for Americans to stop fighting
the echos of the Civil War. The Republican ascendancy over the last
40 years was, in great part, a reaction to that unfinished business
of the Union victory- desegregation. When Americans fight Americans
over a superstition like race everyone loses. It seems that for
many many people the time has come. We are not there yet but we are
coming down the mountain into what Martin Luther King called the
Promised Land.
