Who is the actual inspiration here?

Yes, great speech by Obama. Wonderful platitudes. I am curious though if the entire political ideology of the speech is lost? This speech confirmed for me that Obama is just two standard deviations away from his mentor's far leftist anti-America rhetoric on the political spectrum.

Obama is proving to be quite the politician and it would be wonderful to have a black guy win the Presidency, because it would go a long way to heal some deep wounds in America, but at what cost? Should we not deconstruct his political message and try to figure out how he is going to pay for solving every problem in the US with Federal tax money? Should we not be concerned that he wants to install a health care system that is an admitted failure in other parts of the world? Should we not be concerned that he pulls his political ideology from Marxist thought? Should we not care that if elected, he would immediately withdraw troops from a war that we seem to be winning and worsen the situation by our absence (according to every Middle East leader - except Iran)? Should we not care that his judgment seems to be so impaired that he cannot even lead his own church to correct an ideology that by his own words "expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country – a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam."

Maybe I'll just vote for him because some parts of that speech made me tingle rather than vote for a true American hero like John McCain. He's not as pretty and damn-it he's white, but it seems McCain's story and ideology is also pretty inspiring.
