I think Medved and Dean Barnett are right about Obama's speech. He diverted liberals with a nuanced discussion about race, going for a big picture overview, which is what liberals very much desire to hear. So they swooned. In doing so Obama sidestepped the main issue, which as Jon Stewart put it, was "WHAT ABOUT THE WHACKY PREACHER?" Now Jon Stewart is no conservative but he has acute BS detectors. And Obama's young supporters listen to him.

Obama also threw his grandmother under the bus in that speech.

All in all, not a day in keeping with Obama's role as "the chosen one" or whatever he was running as a month ago.
