**UPDATED LINK** - Hillary Clinton says “Obama was looking for a fight.”

My trainer and I had a good laugh yesterday afternoon. He mentioned that he was excited about Monday night television. I said, “Me, too!” He then said, “Yeah. ‘American Gladiators’is on.” I chuckled back, “Well, I meant the Democratic debates. But there may not be too much difference.”

Who knew?

I tell you, I watched both. And despite the extreme muscle mass and snarling on display during “American Gladiators,” there was far more authentic aggression displayed by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

And it’s about time.

After the initial shock of seeing these two actually bust out past staff crafted point/counterpoint, I felt refreshed and invigorated about participating in our electoral process. It was nice to see both Obama and Clinton as fully human. And frankly, with each of them slinging insults based on cherry picked facts from the others past, I learned some new information about each of them – markedly unflattering. Is this helpful in making a voting decision? Yes, I think so.

But another moment that excited me was when Barack Obama actually talked about race. He actually talked about the lack of equal justice for Black people and expressed the sentiment that addressing these issues of disparity should/must be as important for White people if we as a nation are to enjoy any real unity. When he talked about equal justice, I felt Obama was taking words out of my mouth.
