I read with amazement some of the comments about Obama’s speech – comments that he didn’t offer enough "concrete plans" or that he wasn’t "strong enough" on some point or another. Those comments miss the mark. We’ve heard "concrete plans" and "strength without equal" for years, and nothing changed. He spoke to the human and religious values in the best of us all. He spoke to the “isms” that are in the way – here and elsewhere. Until that level of dialog is reached, anything else is simply a waste of time and words. Right now, his job is to point where we need to go and what’s in the way. Getting there is down the road. We’ve been on this road before…
