The far left magazine Slate said he came off very good, and effective during the speech.

The Slate article is worth reading.

Blacks that lean republican hate the NAACP, speaking to them alienates the Blacks that are sitting on the fence.

Bushes numbers among Blacks were higher when he didn't speak to this group.

I listened to the entire speech on the radio (Fox channel). The delivery and content were very effective in my opinion. I could hear a hecklar for about a minute or two in the background. By the applause he seemed to be well received.

thanks for posting it.

[The people have spoken]

The speech uses the term "African American" 19 times and the term "black" once.

Has "black" gone the way of "negro" and "colored"?
