It's hard for a sitting (and unpopular) president to win a news cycle with a opposition primary as entertaining as this one, but with his speech to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Obama clearly has. Rolling cadences! Civil rights rhetoric! The candidate that journalists swooned over in 2008 is back.Obama's speech also contained some policy planks (he noted, correctly if also obviously, black workers would benefit if his jobs bill works as intended), but these aspects are neither new nor easy to highlight in a fifteen second video clip.
