Very skillful speech. Should work well for his purposes.

As you might know, I've been a little iffy about Obama, but this speech left me, well, speechless. I have never heard a politician acknowledge the lingering racial & class divisions in our society before in a way that gets into these areas of discomfort. I think this speech will be remembered, and now I really, really hope he will be our president. I honesty can't imagine John McCain giving such a truthful speech about any subject, and I respect McCain (though I do not agree with his policies). Poor HC was blown out of the water here. It really showed that he has the one thing she lacks--the ability to communicate in a way that seems honest.

"knocked it out of the park"

Those were the exact words I used after watching the speech this morning.
