Obama did a great job in Selma this week. (The Times has a short video clip of Obama's and Hillary's speeches. No promises about that link. Having some issues with permalinks to Times videos.)

Hillary's speech can be summed up as, "I'm black, too." Not exactly inspiring.

"And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland."

Melissa Harris-Lacewell liked his speech, too, I however had ambivilent feelings toward it.
