I still haven't had a chance to watch the whole speech, but the parts I did see that were not sarcastic were good.

Coming across as "transcendnant" is a sweet thought but if you don't point out your opponents weaknesses I can gurantee you nobody else is going to do it.
Especially if you are a Republican since the media is in the bag for the Democrats.
Obama tries to give off the aura of being "transcendant" but if you will pay attention to his speeches either right before or right after he disses the "politics of old", yada, yada, yada, he then proceeds to engage in EXACTLT the same behaviour he was deriding five minutes earlier.
I have absolutely no problem with canidates of either party pointing out things about their opponents as long as they are accurate and not personal attacks. Sarah Palin's speech met that criteria.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
