Skinny Kid with a Funny Name

Something else the networks missed last night: one of the most inspirational political speeches I have ever heard. Already, the keynote address of the Democratic National Convention delivered by Barack Obama is becoming the stuff of legend.

Obama is currently running unopposed for the Illinois seat in the US Senate. Highly intelligent and charismatic with seemingly unlimited potential, he is already being referred to by many as the first minority President of the US. This would likely not happen until 2012 (his first Senate term would expire in 2010), but let's not get ahead of ourselves...

Don't take my word for it though, see the speech for yourself.
