The Eloquence Of Barack

from http://moveon.org

In the middle of a presidential contest tainted by racism and sexism, Barack Obama did something amazing today. He gave one of the most honest, courageous, and thoughtful speeches we’ve ever seen.

It was unlike any political speech in recent memory. And not surprisingly, the media have almost totally missed the point—reducing the whole thing to a few soundbites and hashing over whether he “did enough to condemn his pastor.”

We’ve got to spread the word ourselves.

If you haven’t seen the speech yet, please check it out below. And then please forward it to all your friends and family. We’ve set a goal: reaching out to 100,000 people.

If all this controversy has raised questions among your friends and family, this speech is something they need to see.

And your friends who support Obama will appreciate it, too. It’s deeply moving and they won’t get the story from the mainstream media.

This is a message that could change our nation.

Thank you for all you do.
