Rev. Gilbert H. Caldwell: Words Matter
PHOTO: Can You Spot An Obama?
Having trouble keeping up with the smooth and swift Washington wheeling and dealings of our President-elect and his transition team? Can't get enough news about and views of Barack Obama? Well, have no fear! Comcast has the answer to your prayer. Comcast is launching an 'All Obama' channel. From Michael Calderone at Politico.com:Do you need Obama coverage 24 hours a day? In several markets, Comcast cable is launching an all-Obama, On Demand channel. (In D.C., it's channel 963).
Leading up to Inauguration, the channel will offer a number of Obama-related programs, according to a release: "Barack Obama's most famous speeches to date, from his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 through his election night victory speech in Grant Park; Barack Obama biography; Michelle Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention speech; a tour of the White House; and the history of Air Force One." ...

And as you might guess, the comment threads are just exploding with opinions about Comcast's latest addition:
Look folks, this is not worth getting your knickers all in a twist. Comcast's goal is to make money. If people sign up for this OnDemand channel, Comcast makes money. If not, then expect this channel to disappear as quickly as it popped up.
well, why not? the republicans and bush have had their own channel for years, it is called FOX.

Try having the Obama channel programming highlight his greatest accomplishments. Then Day 2 the channel will cease to exist.

Is this a way for white america to keep taps on him. You know as black people we are die-sected and analysis to death. While white people let's say MAD CHEATS people out of billions and no one asked not one question. I think the idea is infringing on his privacy. Damn give him a break and let him be PRESIDENT he is alredy being covered like no other president. I hope he calls a halt to this madness.

Being the 21st century, and Mr. Obama being the 1st elected Black President of the United States, with all the technology we have, this is history, and should be broadcast for all to see, and hear.
