Obama Speech on Race

I think it was great speech, and I found much of it touching and illuminating on race and, really, family as well as faith. He has a lot of integrity for standing behind the guy. But I'm not sure it will do enough to counter the media-driven frenzy over Rev. Wright's speeches. As we've discussed on the show, the remarks and the delivery are just too inflammatory for a lot of people out in white America, even if many of us don't find the content itself so untrue. Those people will not like Obama standing behind him, and the clips will play over and over again -- and will be used by the Republicans and McCain. Not good. Here's the transcript, and vid clips is below. What do you think?
