I actually like the speech, though I'm currently disgusted by the media lovefest. Chris Matthews said it was one of the best speeches in American history, and I nearly vomited. I'll try not to let my distaste for the pseudo-impartial Matthews taint my view of the speech, however.
I did find it interesting that Chuck Todd stated that a white person could not have made that speech. It hadn't really occurred to me, but it is ironic that Obama is getting some acclaim for admitting that white people have legitimate gripes on a lot of things, yet those things probably wouldn't be well received if uttered by a white candidate. I don't even mean accepted by the black community, I don't think the MSM would be falling all over themselves to celebrate this honesty.
