Race in America

I haven't had time to read all of - much less fully digest - Barack Obama's speech about race in America. But what I read of it (maybe the first 1/3) reminded me what I like most about Obama. He is a man, according to several accounts of those close to him, that thinks deeply about issues. I think he did a good job of using both broad and detailed brushes in what is too often a sound-byte world.

I found what I read to be very interesting. And very well-centered... an amazing feat with such a polarizing issue.
