I think Obama is having his Martin Luther King moment |

Just remember how his words are making you feel. Not how they spin it tomorrow.

An amazing speech/eulogy/prophetic challenge.
Thoughtful, theologically sound, sensitive, and, coming from a president, pretty goddamn fantastic.

6. Yes, the text would be great for rhetorical analysis |

And you can tell how personal and from the heart it was.

10. MLK would end wars, close Gitmo, stop torture and thow Banksters out |
|
I supported him, and he's better than the alternative, but he's continuing the Bush policies. These are Obama's policies, Obama's wars, etc... Now

I did not compare his policies to MLK. Care to comment on his speech?

"I believe we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved lives here - they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us."

He doesn't use his words carelessly. It's perfect in this context.
