Sen. Barack Obama sought to right his shaken presidential campaign with his bold speech on race Tuesday, political analysts said.
“I’ve never heard anybody give a speech like that, ever. It transcends John F. Kennedy’s speech on his faith and his politics,” said G.

I think that this speech saved his campaign.”
