Oh, that Barack...

So, after much urging by my political advisor (thanks Meg), I took the time to view Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech on race in America.  To be forthright, I was blown away by the insight, courage, and down-right honesty presented in this broadcast.  Though it is difficult for me to jump fences based on this speech alone, I must admit, the temptation is lurking just around the political corner.  

In the end, I don't really care who says it, as long as it is said.  The fact that Mr. Obama happens to be the speaker only makes me respect him as a man and yes, as a public figure and potential leader of our country, even more.  Will I vote for him in the primary?  Sigh...damn it.  Now I just don't know.  

Hurray!  I figured out how to upload the full video, parts 1-4, onto this post!  (if you are reading this right now, i expect silent cheers and raised fists for Candace's technological proficiency.  thanks.)  Please, please take the time to see it and let me know what you think!!!  Yay! I'm so excited! :)
