BBC News: I thought Obama would be another Kennedy or Reagan, aspire us to our better angels, but the speech did not cut the mustard as we say in the UK. Obama was seen as a Post Racial Candidate, past the turbulence of the 1960s, to the 21st Century. What I heard would be good in a College seminar but not in a President. Kennedy and Reagan could disavow people when it needed to be done, Obama did not DISAVOW his pastor in the full. Before Obama was the Democratic Candidate for President who happened to be African American. Much like Kennedy happened to be Catholic in 1960. After this speech Obama is the African - American, Democratic Candidate for President. The above is a sublet difference, the Clinton Machine wont have to do much work on this issue, Obama had a chance and he blew it, its that simple. I don't see him being the nominee of the Democrats in November, sad so sad.
