I agree with Josh. I think Obama clearly had his "A" game today. This was not a political rally that justified dramatic couplets and soundbites followed by raucous applause, so it cannot be measured in the same way as a speech in that forum. This was a measured, thoughtful account of his life in a racially divided country. It was noteworthy for its intelligence, sincerity and insight. Its hard to imagine another politician giving this speech let alone delivering it with such grace. It was truly moving for me. While I recognize it was a "campaign" speech and its impact on the campaign matters, at this particular moment I choose to evaluate it in isolation for the uniqueness of its message and the high quality of its messenger. On that score, it was a magnum opus for Obama--and a great moment for our country given its context.
