we, the people, in order to form a more perfect union...

i have refrained from expressing my political views on this blog
and will probably continue to do so (most of the time haha!)

but i've just spent 37 minutes watching obama's a more perfect union
and i cant help but to give a little comment

that he delivered it in philadelphia, cradle of US constitution (and next primary vote),
squarely addressed the issue of racism and not just got away with it but did it magnificently,
and turned over such a sensitive divisive problem into a cause for all people to unify...
all i have to say is, darn, he is brilliant!!!

i cant even recall the last political speech that could stir my heart so!
wait, actually i can! they were i have a dream and i've been to the mountaintop
i'd always languished the fact i couldnt watch martin luther king with my own eyes
but maybe, God knows, another era of inspiring oratory is just around the corner

if you havent been following and wanna know the context, click here for summary
then if you have 37 mins to spare (trust me, it's worth it), have a listen...
