Fundamental Misunderstanding/Bad Sir Hillary v. BHO

Re The Speech.

It occurs to me after reading the text again, and reading some of the critiques again, that BHO either doesn't understand the Constitution or is counting on the ignorance of the many who are all sweaty with passion over the 'vision' his speech stirred up in them.

Our Constitution does not discriminate. Contrary to his prime assertion, it is complete. It does not give permission to discriminate against anyone because of color, race, religion or sex. He said it's incomplete. Think of that my friends, "incomplete". Would he change it to accommodate Rev Wright's views? How would he change the Constitution to eliminate the racial divide he finds in America?

A brilliant speech would have said our constitution guarantees us all a swing at the ball. The impediments that government have put up that keep any of us from knocking the ball out of the park should be torn down. Let us tear them down together and give everyone of the chance to succeed or fail through our own effort and talent.

But no, he'll mandate success for some, I guess. Heaven help him if he tries to put it in the Constitution.

Follow up question: Sir Hillary's releasing some papers today. Do you think she sees the publicity accorded BHO over the chink in his armor and is hoping to get a little of her own by creating some controversy of her own, or does she think this will be the cache she needs to claim 'experience'?
