I read over Obama's speech and was really happy with what was there. The issue of racism has kept cropping up here and there and very recently became a very heated topic. Obama gives this speech in answer to all the talk that has been happening. As for Democrats.. he's definitely my choice. McCain hasn't really distinguished himself yet (to me), though I ought to find out more about him.
I heartily exhort you to read the actual speech rather than take the summaries which all the news sites and commentators are giving. The context of everything is crucial and the speech is a pretty coherent unit. Breaking up speeches into summaries and pieces is bad for understanding.
If you have some time to read Obama's speech, you can find it written out here below the video of the speech.
