Barack Obama Speech - A More Perfect Union

Is America ready for a thoughtful, intelligent, eloquent President? I hope so. Discussions about race can be very uncomfortable, heated, awkward, emotional. I had some in Oakland with my African American neighbors and those conversations were all those things and more, but talking about it is better than ignoring it. And sometimes those discussions evolve into something really cool: understanding--hopefully. Long speech, but it's a home run.
