I had breakfast with a friend who hadn't heard Obama's speech. I promised to post it here. One of the best speeches I've heard in my lifetime. Seriously. Regardless of political leanings, I hope the important message within this speech can start some much-needed conversation and maybe prompt some healing as a nation. Things have got to change... and we can make it change for the better.

I just listened to this yesterday for the first time. You are 100% right: this speech is one of the best I have EVER heard!
Someone last night said--on TV on some show or other--that it's possible that YouTube has now proven itself. More people watched the speech on YouTube than saw it originally. And with YouTube, you can watch ALL of it, not just the predigested network sound bites!
I *heart* technology.
I totally agree with you about this speech from Senator Obama.
I saw this speech delivered live and thought: Finally, a politician speaking to us as if we were grown ups.
Such a moving and powerful speech.
