This morning I witnessed history. Listening to a live radio broadcast in the press room at Take Back America, I heard Senator Barack Obama give the speech that may have turned his sputtering presidential campaign around. More importantly, it may have changed our country forever. In one half hour, Senator Obama effectively reframed the debate, retook the high ground and laid out a bold new strategy for his historic campaign. After the speech, a room full of political bloggers, operatives and journalists erupted in a standing ovation, then suddenly a lone voice said, "That is how we are going to take back America". All I can say is....CLUTCH!!!
No matter how you feel about the campaign, understand that today history was made...

Agreed. Barack was right about race relations here in the US are not "static", but there remains a lot of work ahead of us. We cannot take steps forward unless our leaders are willing to put the issue out there and have a dialogue with the public. The genius of Barack Obama is being able to relate his bi-racial upbringing to the struggles of both blacks and whites in today's America. Also - I am glad he did not give in to the right wingers by disowning Rev. Wright. Only Obama could have walked the line as tightly as he did and like you said this was one of the must clutch speeches I can remember.
