It's also interesting that Obama made reference to his father being Muslim. While campaigning for the presidency he described his father as being agnostic. Quite a difference between the two.

This really serves to make my point. The "some people" who claim outright that Sotomayor is "racist" are a relative handful of whites. And not on the basis of any of Sotomayor's legal decisions, but because of ONE innocuous statement made in ONE speech to a group of young Latinos nearly a decade ago. The power of this tiny fragment of white society and how they get folks like you to give creedence to their looney claims is really quite amazing. >
She actually stated something similar years before, so perhaps she had been 'tweaking' the comment.

I have read on other threads how great his speech was for extending an olive branch to the Muslims. Asking "why can't we all just get along". I don't believe his motive is religious harmony. The mid-east is so important due to it's oil reserves, period. America is an oil driven economy, big oil dictates US mid-east policy, and have done so for the last hundred years. I feel his speech was symbolism without substance.

The article I read implied the Carradine family preferred this scenario to the suicide report. Very western.

Yea, I checked out IMDB, there is an article stating he died during a sex game gone wrong. According to sources in Bangkok. Wow, 72 years old.

DXXJP: His kung fu was not bad, but he seemed to portray more cerebral characters. As opposed to non-stop action. Kill Bill may have been an exception.

Just as an example, there is a legitimate belief held by many in the West that it is becoming increasingly unacceptable to criticize Islam, and that freedom of speech is gradually being chipped away.
This is true, however is shows how political correctness has permeated the American psyche.

Obama's speeches sure are pretty, let's see if they are symbolism or substance. There is a new King Tut in town.

zurcronium: There is plenty of blame to go around. My reference is the 1990's when unions demanded full salary for laid off workers. GM became fat and unsustainable. Shortsighted decisions were made by many, yes management also.

20,000 workers will be fired. GM needed to become leaner 20 years ago. The union never would have allowed it.

There are times when it is better to keep quiet and leave them thinking you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Bill Gates, Warren Buffet etc.. They are Billionaires. They are the exception to the rule. Most of these CEO's aren't as philanthropic. They are selfish and short sighted. But I do agree with your sentiment.
