While reading the transcript of this speech, I felt so proud to be an Obama supporter. This is a man who has earned my deep respect. Funny thing about respect though…it is earned but can be lost. Holly used to be one of the writers here that I really respected, even when I did not agree with her. Her latest contributions regarding the election, have made me lose all respect for her and her response to this speech was the final straw. Sadly, I now see her as no different from Michelle Malkin except for the D in her party affiliation that she claims to have. She just can't resist to say about this speech “la-la-la not listening la-la-la, vote for Hillary!”. Very, very sad.

I think it was an excellent speech which was from his heart- not a political calculation, though it may have been born out of political necessity.

I was prepared to be less than moved, as I have fallen victim to much cynicism over the past couple decades. But as I watched the speech I came to the realization that what we have running for president here is a man with a clear understanding of what so many Americans seem to be confused and disillusioned by when it comes to race issues. I sincerely hope people who make judgements about Obama do so only after seeing or reading a transcript of this speech.

That was a well crafted speech and Obama is a very effective speaker, unlike many recent politicos. Too bad the MSM will not let you hear it. You will hear the talking heads repeating their (wrong) interpretation of it while simultaneously playing the loop of Rev. Wright's comments over and over again. This kind of high-mindedness and vision is anathema to the corporate owners.

It is only among the first tests for Obama, I am sure they will come up with many more smear attempts and fabricated scandals before November.

Best part is, can't you just savor a Obama -McCain debate? McCain is a twittering old fart compared to Obama's soaring rhetoric. Our corporate masters know this so they have to do everything in their power to convince us that with Obama there is "just no there, there," before the debates begin.

Holly probably wouldn't be impressed by the second coming of John Lennon either…

I have read the entire speech and am not impressed. The best thing Sen. Obama can do for the Democratic Party and the USA is admit that he is not qualified to be President, drop out of the race, and promptly endorse Sen. Clinton.

Just listened to the entire speech…The best I ever heard in terms of combining eloquence, poetry, history, hope, and candor. Breathtaking. I hope it become required viewing in schools.

Great speech, and another glaring reason why Obama is doing so well. They keep tacking on negatives to him, and he turns around and expands his lead each time by tackling it head on. Thats the kind of politician we've been waiting for.

Ok – this is awful – I remember Huey Long most for the Long House Office Building on Capitol Hill and for Sean Penn's performance in All the King's Men.
