The lack of artifice. Not a false note. I don't know if it was written by committee or Obama or some combination thereof (yes, I'm still cynical!) but these are things that needed to be said, and they were said so well. I've been so excited about the possiblity of a female president - not a popular option in this forum, but my bent nonetheless - but last night, for the first time, I got the feeling maybe Obama really could help the country heal, could unite majority and minority, and bring us to a day when race is a non-issue. Man, that would be sweet.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('23701','Cyn'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('23701','Cyn','This beauty of this speech was the absolute logic of it.
