Praise for President Obama’s speech at Saturday’s #Selma50 observation was nearly unanimous, with even the most objective reporters declaring it “historic” at the very least, while others deemed it Obama’s best.
Covering and listening to hundreds of Obama speeches over the last decade, I can't recall one that is better than his Selma speech today.

"It is a rare honor in this life to follow one of your heroes." A wondrous first sentence. Then it got even better. http://t.co/bEBfDf3KWF

As his tweet above suggests, the New York Times’ Jonathan Martin found Sen. Barack Obama’s 2007 speech at the 42nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday perhaps just as important as this year’s; “You could feel history turn,” he recalls. Bonus points to those out there who remember presidential candidate Obama’s remarks and felt his story turn.
That time Obama lied & said 1965 Selma march inspired his parents to conceive him…even though he was born in 1961. http://t.co/RTgqRfwN9Z

Lie is such a strong and accurate word.
@michellemalkin “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing

@michellemalkin to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

@michellemalkin did the Obama's use the same time machine that Hillary Rodamn Clinton's parents used when they named her?

@kyleraccio @michellemalkin He misremembered his conception.

@michellemalkin @rmcmartino1 It sounded good and that's all that matters. Lots of speeches and photo ops, but no significant action for good
