Juan Williams says Obama has to give another -- better and more honest -- speech on race. Specifically, taking personal responsibility for hanging out so long with a racial dividers and demagouges like Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Michael Phleger.

Money Q:

"To deal with this controversy effectively, Mr. Obama needs to give another speech. This time he has to admit to sins of using race for political expediency – by knowingly buying into divisive, mean messages being delivered from the pulpit. He has to say that, as a biracial young man with no community roots, attaching himself to Rev. Wright and the Trinity congregation was a shortcut to move up the ladder in the Chicago political scene. He has to call race-baiting what it is, whether it comes from a pulpit or calls itself progressive politics. And he has to challenge his supporters, especially his black base, to be honest about real problems at the heart of today's racial divide – including out-of-wedlock births, crime, drugs and a culture that devalues education while glorifying the gangster life."

I don't know if it will help Obama, but it is good hear Williams, a liberal and a black man, speaking truth to power.
