In this clip, highly-respected journalist, author and commentator, Tavis Smiley, attempts to clear-up his initial statements, with regards to Barack Obama. In early, 2008, Tavis Smiley made a commentary on "The Tom Joyner Morning Show," asking for accountability in Barack Obama's presidential-candidacy. With the circulation of his statements, a lot of Obama supporters mis-construed Smiley's statements as hateful/selfish. Nevertheless, with recent occurences vis-a-vis Obama's campaign, many of the issues Tavis raised, are beginning to see some new-found illumination.
