Obama speaking on government accountability, transparency, and ethics

Here’s Barack Obama speaking on government ethics (lobbying, campaign finance, etc). I am extremely impressed– this is the most eloquent and intelligent I have ever heard a mainstream presidential candidate speaking on any issue. He speaks very confidently, never mincing his words to make them more digestible. That’s what I like so much about Obama– he respects voters and doesn’t treat them like mindless fragile statistics.

(I actually don’t know where he is speaking– I found the video on Obama’s ethics policy page).

I’m only 6 months late with this response. But, maybe it will be read… This was, indeed, an extremely important speech. And I hadn’t heard it till today, August 10, 2008. I was googling on ‘Accountability’. And I was actually looking and Obama statement regarding the holding of the current administration accountable for the laws they have broken, the deaths they have caused, and their systematic destruction of the bill of rights. If you read this, and you know of a site that addresses this issue, I’d love to know about it. Thank you for the great work here.
