I think you're on to something here. I know he was speaking in front of a black audience when he made those comments, therefore, he tailored his message somewhat, but his basic message crosses all ethnic/cultural boundaries. What I got from his message is that Americans should learn to expect the best of ourselves (and of each other) and that we need to stop paying homage to mediocrity.
