The speech was historic, inspiring, especially as it appears he actually wrote it himself.

Now he just has to continue to do the impossible...keep telling the truth.

This question is too vague.

If you mean after the "God Damn America" flap, I would say about the same.

If you mean considering he belongs to this Church with it's racist goals in the first place, it is definitely less favorable.

After all things have been considered means you should consider all things and then choose one of the options. It really isn't vague at all.

I needed a timeframe too, so I voted based on all things since the start of time.

I voted "less", but still prefer him to the alternatives.

Strangely during this period of black/white issues, he made good on some transparency issues. So booyay.

I assumed that most posters were smart enough to figure out that what I was going for was from the start of the whole "flap". I should note that whan I said most, I was not including you.
