Obama gave a decent enough speech on race the other day, but it's a hell of a time to even be discussing such a controversial subject just months before the election. It's enough he has to say all the right things about domestic and foreign policy, but to have to tackle the ginormous subject of race might be problematic. He could spend 2 terms in office as President addressing racial issues, and still get nowhere. Perhaps if he ends up losing the election, he could devote more of his time addressing racial issues and injustices as he sees them. It seems like a lot to ask of a candidate to tackle the subject of race relations *and* run a conventional campaign at the same time.

I thought Huckabee's comments were out of left field for sure.
