The best analysis of the speech I’ve seen.
I would add that Obama has used the hell out of Pastor Wright. He used him to get ahead in Chicago faith-politics, and he’s using him now, portraying him as a sad old man driven mad by racial injustice, and saying: ‘But I’ve evolved beyond that; I’m better than him.’ The cynicism is breathtaking, and frightening. He’s taken 20 years of race-hate and divisiveness in which he acquiesced, and leveraged it into a call for unity.
