Obama's Speech

More on this later. I thought this was pretty damn good. I don't know if it's a winning speech, but if it isn't, it's hard to see any black person winning anytime soon. This was the part that got me:

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

These people are a part of me.  And they are a part of America, this country that I love.

That just struck me as honest, and honorable.
