Obama Speech: 'A More Perfect Union' (~37 minutes)
Barack Obama speaks in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters not just of race and recent remarks but of the fundamental path by which America can work together to pursue a better future.
I made it about five minutes into this. The world is on fire and he has time to all this time to talk about being black. Sorry, but it's not good enough.
I have long been disgusted by his church, so I haven't looked at the "firestorms" as an issue. I'm actually more critical of his association with Saul Alinsky.
The church. I didn't focus on the preacher very much. I do recognize why black Americans might congregate together that way. His years of attendance there are a strong indication of the kind of chip I'd rather not see being carried into the White house on the shoulders of the president.

He discusses that too. Basically, he said the generation that Rev. Jeremiah Wright belongs to has this chip, they experienced forced segregation.
This speech displays Obama's lack of a chip, but his understanding of why some African-Americans do.
