: PrawfsObama's Speech
By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel
I wouldn't normally post twice in a day, but I just saw the video of Obama's speech, and I'm very curious what folks thought about it. I'll go first. I thought it was pretty amazing: intelligent, eloquent, persuasive, and yeah, inspirational. It was, to me, an actual example of explaining some complex and difficult real and perceived differences, and then trying to build bridges, stressing commonalities and not divisiveness.
Of course the other story here is, "will this 'defuse' the "Wright controversy' sufficiently that Obama is still a plausible candidate?"
So, thoughts on (i) the quality and substance of the speech; and (ii) the effect on Obama's political future?
