Barack Obama's Landmark Speech

I've been away from the primary political scene for about a week as I attended the 2008 Nonprofit Technology Conference in New Orleans. 

I was able to watch little tidbits here and there about the Presidential race... but I was unable to watch Barack Obama's landmark speech last week which discussed race issues head-on, candidly and in a very mature manner.

The speech helped New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson to put his support behind Obama.  Richardson has a huge Hispanic following which should help Obama.  I believe that Richardson will be Obama's running mate... this will be a powerful ticket!

Barack's speech lasts over 30 minutes, but it's worth watching every minute!   As of this posting the video has been viewed over 3 million times, received nearly 6,000 comments and been made a favorite nearly 12,000 times.
