"Reading responses to Obama's speech of yesterday, I've been struck that just about every commentator who makes any kind of pretense at seriousness has had to acknowledge the speech as exceptional. Not Obama's usual brand of exceptional, in which his trademark soaring delivery lifts up whatever he says, but exceptional in its depth, nuance, and forthrightness.

For some, no kind of disavowal of Wright would be enough, let alone one with any nuance. For committed Obama opponents, the speech is of course ground to be mined for offenses. But for the most part, the response has recognized this as an extraordinary moment in American politics"

2. My local paper did something I never saw done before.

They re-printed the entire text of Obama's speech on the editorial page. This in a Repug paper in a heavily Repug area.

The brief comment on the speech was positive toward the speech.

3. This historic speech transcends politics

twenty years from now everyone posting here will remember how strongly they were for Obama, and the ones that will admit being for Hillary will acknowledge it was a pivotal and historic moment.
