Today, Obama gave an absolutely extraordinary speech on the subject of race in America, and you need to hear it. Or read it. Or have it downloaded to your brain like in The Matrix. And you need to do it now.

And what’s more? “This wasn’t a speech by committee. Obama wrote the speech himself, working on it for two days and nights…. and showed it to only a few of his top advisers.”

Without the merest whiff of my usual Obamania… This man needs to be our next President.
