But If You're Thinkin About My Baby It Doesn't Matter If You're Black Or White

Really interesting piece from the Times on Obama's appeal to various demographics and the authencity behind it. I personally didn't think his speech was entirely "preachery" or reminiscent of Rev. Wright's holier than now b.s. I thought it was deeply personal and as Maddow says, "literary." He was self-assured, graceful, and charasmatic. Regardless of what he said I was distracted by how he made me feel. I have to say that at the end of his speech I had mad love for the man.
