Recommended – Two Political Speeches

For those who are following the election campaigns, I recommend two recent speeches, one on race by Senator Obama and one on foreign policy by Senator McCain, both of which are outstanding.

The text of Senator Obama’s speech can be found on the web at Senator Obama’s website at http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/hisownwords.

The text of Senator McCain’s speech can be found on the web at the New York Times site at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/26/us/politics/26text-mccain.html.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find any speech by Senator Clinton that approaches the standards of forthrightness and clarity of position demonstrated in these two speeches.
