Positive reaction to Obama's speech
by Joe Sudbay (DC) · 3/18/2008 02:29:00 PM ET


As expected, commentators are weighing on the powerful speech delivered by Barack Obama. He seems to have exceeded expectations. Taegan Godddard has a compilation of what some pundits are saying about Obama's speech today. I think what Taegan himself wrote is right on point:
Sen. Barack Obama's speech on race this morning showed off exactly why he's become the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination. He's absolutely willing to challenge the conventional way of how politicians approach controversy. In my opinion, it was the best speech so far in this campaign.

It was a great speech. As I wrote right after watching Obama deliver the remarks "one thing is true -- no other candidate could give a speech like this" Mark Halperin, who for whatever reasons seems to set the tone for the punditry, made these points in a post titled, "Obama Rises to the Occasion on Race and the Race":
Blows away the chattering class with Philadelphia speech.

Delivers historic remarks on race in address that was wide-ranging, personal, and (at times) passionate....

Widespread praise from anchors/pundits/reporters for sweeping remarks drawing on American history and his own biracial upbringing.

Here's the link to the video on YouTube.

Now, can we move on? It's time to wrap up this nomination battle so we can start running against McCain.

That speech will definitely go down with some of the speeches from some of the best this country has had to offer.

I got a positive response to his speech. I'm positively not voting for him.

I'm not surprised it seems a Kook like you would rather be voting for Stalin.

Fat chance. Stalin was a communist. I'm a staunch Reaganite.

How did you know I was a Kook?

Obama is dead, and the black church has been opened
wide for all to examine.
