Obama’s big speech on race
by: Sarah

I was searching around to read responses about Barack Obama’s huge self-written speech when I stumbled on one man’s rant. The speech in itself is interesting, the fact that Obama wrote it himself makes it better. It is particularly long but well worth the watch. Obama went against the trend of just denouncing bad publicity by speaking out against something that means something to him.

The other blogger seems to think that this speech has put Obama in a bad position for his campaign. But, I think otherwise, this from-the-heart speech will probably in the end help him in his campaign. All Americans want is the truth, and by Obama speaking out on these issues instead of slandering Clinton he just made himself more appealing.

Although Skeet Skeet is right, that was a ballsy move.
