"A More Perfect Union"

Watch and listen (or read), then discuss.


Update: A fact I mistakenly excluded, but bears mentioning for various reasons, is that Obama wrote this speech himself. Although this isn't revolutionary, most candidates don't write their own material (see McCain and Mark Salter/Charlie Black, Clinton with Penn and others, , and while Obama does write his own stuff more often than others, as the Deval Patrick dust-up revealed (See Axelrod), the campaign trail isn't a great writing environment.

Bottom line is he spent 20 years loving this guy. There is a reason Oprah quit the church years ago, Obama should have followed.

Good speech though, solid at shifting the topic.
