Watching Bill O'Reilly and his talking points made me start to think about Barack Obama and the so-called "Self-Reliance" tour. There seems to be a disconnect by O'Reilly and many others in understanding Obama's message on self-reliance that he has delivered. Obama's message is one of personal reliance. O'Reilly, in his brilliance of No-Spin reporting, attempted to portray Obama's message of self-reliance as being something that only Obama could do in front of the NAACP. Excuse me for stating the obvious, but duh Bill. Barack is talking about personal accountability, specifically within the Black community of which he is a member. He has the right and, in many ways, the responsibility to preach personal accountability to the Black community. The personal accountability that Obama preaches should lead to holding our government to a higher level of accountability. Is not that what we need now? A government who the people can hold accountable. A government who the people can trust. We must start by trusting ourselves.

That made me think of Ralph Waldo Emmerson, who wrote the poem "Self Reliance." RWE was a trancendentalist. McCain thinks the war on terror is a 'trancendental' issue. LMFAO. Watch Stephen Colbert if you don't understand the difference.
