The more widely viewed version of the speech on YouTube is the CNN feed with the annoying junk at the bottom of the screen. Now, there is a better link for Obama's speech. The original footage complete with intro etc is at C-SPAN. But this requires RealPlayer or some other program that can play the .rm filetype.
Obama had a post-speech interview with Nightline.
The Chicago Tribune has a pre-controversy profile of Jeremiah Wright.
The Daily Kos has a compilation of editorial and other reactions.
At Salon, Glen Greenwald thinks Americans might not be ready to discuss things like adults, and a responder thinks that even without adult Americans, the speech might still work. The NY Times has the reaction in Chicago, near Obama's church, a positive news analysis, and an op-ed by Maureen Dowd. The Post has another positive analysis, as well as an article about the many Youtube reactions to Wright's sermons. The LA Times compares Obama's speech to Lincoln's, as well as FDR's and JFK's.
