Barack's Speech on Race

It was unlike any speech I've heard from a political candidate. Balanced, sensitive, honest. Not politics as usual.

Just what you'd expect from one who has decried the incivility of American political discourse and hopes to set a new tone.

In this moment, Barack has lived up to my hopes.

It's Holy Week and I happen to be a christian, so maybe I can be forgiven for seeing in Barack's speech a glimmer or two of resurrection.
