[Senator Obama] "provided a lengthy meditation on racial resentment in America as a durable impediment to improving the living conditions of blacks and working class whites alike.
He invoked the Constitutional framers’ purpose to form “a more perfect union” as well as William Faulkner’s famous dictum on the enduring impact of history that “the past is never past.” Despite the uncomfortable topic, the speech was largely cast in the favored themes of his candidacy, the power of hope and the promise of change."
