As I said earlier, I think he has an extreme uphill battle in overcoming prejudice in this election. I am amazed he has been able to do so well so far. Can you imagine how tough it must be for a black man with a name like his to come so far?
I have personally spoken to people here in southern Ohio who think he is a Muslim who is sympathetic to terrorism and will not honor our flag or the pledge. CNN just did a poll on TV news where 13% think he is a Muslim. Even Hillary when asked if she thinks Obama is a Muslim hedged her answer with "as far as I know he isn't".
I think that his speech was mostly right on and he did a good job of explaining his old reverand's remarks but I fear that many voters do not pay attention to details and will instead be swayed by video of the reverand saying "God damn America" over and over. I hope I am wrong.
