The Obama Seminar has just finished their reinvestigation into the teaching. Would you mind taking a look?

Very efficient. The Red State link is gone, replaced at the top by a link to Slate and CounterPunch. No sense trying to blame this stuff on the right.

Is that you Sidney Blumenthal? If so, I'm flattered that you noticed the blog.

Anyone have the entire video of the intro? This is tantalizingly close, but cuts off just before the "light from somewhere" quote. Looks like Obama was being pretty lighthearted, not a bad attribute for a world leader I think.

I want to watch the minute or so after this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x...h? v=xSEIcaPqL7w

The link to the transcript is here: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANS.../07/ cnr.02.html

The key part, which is being abused to attack Obama ( http:// obamamessiah.blogspot.com...experience.html ) is this:

That's his job, get you to the polls, vote for Obama. My job is to help him do his job. So I am going to try to be so persuasive in the 20 minutes or so that I speak that by the time this is over, a light will shine down from somewhere.

It will light upon you. You will experience an epiphany. And you will say to yourself, I have to vote for Barack. I have to do it.

And if you make that decision, if that moment happens, then it would be great -- even though it's just one day to go -- for you to fill out one of these supporter cards before you leave, because that way we'll know, you know, who, in fact, is going to be voting. Make sure that you are getting to the right precinct. It will be very helpful to Dave in doing his job.
