The full 37-minute version of Barack Obama's speech "A More Perfect Union." Extremely well-written and well-delivered, both by the same guy. It's been interesting to see the reactions both to speech and to the news that Obama wrote it himself, that expectations for political discourse are so low that it's truly astonishing when a politician frankly and eloquently talks at length about such an important issue and it wasn't written by a team of staffers first. Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, it's worth watching.

And here's Jon Stewart's reaction.
