Eugene Robinson: "tired old argument of the past"

January 20, 2009

This is what Eugene Robinson heard in the speech. He never got around to mentioning that Rev Lowery brought up that tired old argument mired in the sixties.

MATTHEWS: Eugene Robinson - What you heard from the President of the United States.

ROBINSON: What I heard was a fascinating speech in which he did a lot of things. Number one, he wanted to turn the page from what he called the tired old argument of the past that we have been mired in since the sixties. It was the theme of his campaign. He struck that theme again today.

And Reverend Lowery?

What campaign was Robinson watching? barry used that tired old race card at every turn. He finally had to admit to it when he tried it against McCain but he found the "kill him" myth instead.

When are folks going to see reality as it exists?

What is it going to take?
