Change. Good. Yes.
Watch, listen and learn. Let’s hope it’s history in the making.*
I <3 Obama more and more with every passing day. If you haven’t seen the speech on race that he recently delivered in the city of brotherly love, you can watch it online. Alternatively, you can just read the transcript.
I bought one. You can too.
Also, if you missed out on the the first one, there’s a new Shep Fairey print for sale on the Obama ‘08 site, albeit in a much larger edition of 5000. (The first one, sold through Shep Fairey’s own site, was an edition of 350. Unsurprisingly it sold out in about a millisecond.)
*All the other clips I’ve been sent were really lousy quality with that interminable CNN crawl on the bottom of the screen. Thanks to Liz Kuball for the link to this fresh, crispy, crawl-free version.

Thanks for letting me know about the poster for sale. I missed out on the first one, and I’m not about to let that happen again.
this speech was so amazing. he just nailed it. completely and totally transcended race.
Just remember Obama’s reading from a tele-prompter. Two screens actually on his left and right. This is not “off the cuff” — this is a written speech. His only flaw in delivery is that he forgets to look down at the podium once and a while at his “notes”, something they have to teach news anchors to do so it doesn’t look so fake.
Reading from a teleprompter in this day and age?! The nerve of him! Everyone knows that all the politicians of our era are on par with Lincoln in their oratory skills. Should he not be held to the same standard? Thank you so very much, Michael KS, for removing these scales from my eyes.
And with that, comments on this post are CLOSED.
