i don't know what to say, i've never heard a political speech so unflinching. i don't know if this will sink Obama's ship or save it, but i think that if his candidacy for president ends here, today, he will have secured himself a place in American history for speaking truth to power, for describing the social situation in the US with regard to racial issues as it really is, in frightening clarity, and addressing the elephants in the room directly.

hello there, mr. elephant, you've been here a while, haven't you? we're going to have to ask you to leave. thanks.

wow.
