And now, Obama

Having given Hillary Clinton a plug on Monday, I would now like to do the same for Barack Obama by recommending that everyone watch his Monday speech at the Ebeneezer Baptist Church, available here. It confirms that he could be the most inspiring orator in our national politics since JFK, and bodes well for his candidacy--if the country can actually get to see him in this mode. The video has drawn an enormous audience on youtube.

I am off to a conference in a few minutes and should be posting again late Sunday.
