The Wright Speech

Well, here's the full speech that is reference in the post below. It's 40 goddamn minutes and not his most rousing speech, so you may want to skip it. But if you've got the patience and inclination it's worth watching. 

As usual, he was forceful and straightforward. He distanced himself from the remarks he's taking heat for without throwing his pastor under the bus, as they say in politics. In my view he succeeded in putting the issue to bed—indeed, he upped the ante and broadened the scope beyond his pastor's remarks to reinforce his larger message of commonality, unity and moving forward. I think he's not only going to survive this teapot tempest, but that it will strengthen him as a candidate.
