Obama Wins: John McCain recycles NAACP speech for His Concession Speech

Diana Arce — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:25:21 GMT

Tomorrow I will post an analysis of McCain’s speech to the NAACP on July 16, 2008. There were many portions of his address were essentially repeated in his final address as a candidate for President.

I’m not so sure how I feel about his private address. Making a portion of this speech about Barack Obama being black. I know for many, it is a very important issue, as it is for myself. But I have a sinking feeling that this speech addressed Obama’s success to his being black and not to him being the better candidate.

I want to know if their is anyone comparing past concession speeches to the current ones. Something to think about.

This is a historic time for the United States, but hopefully that speech will be read differently.

Thoughts?

I’d like to thank all the audience and participants in the Politaoke Summer Tour 2008. It was a great ride and I am hoping to bring Politaoke back before the election for a limited engagement before November 4th.

I am heading back to Germany and will also be updating the Tour page of the site as well as adding more images to Flickr and YouTube as well and adding the complete list of speeches and sources of all the speeches that were available on the Summer Tour.
