[update] BREAKING: Obama to address Patriotism today, 10am Noon EST


UPDATE: Washington Post reports that the speech will be at noon EST.

Not sure yet on link for watching but I would guess CNN etc. will have it.  Here’s the AP announcement:

The Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign says he will talk about “what patriotism means to him and what it requires of all Americans who loves this country and want to see it do better.”

The speech in Missouri Monday comes in the run-up to the July 4 holiday and as Obama seeks to reassure voters about his commitment to the country as well as to counter questions about his patriotism. He’s recently started wearing a flag pin on his lapel.

I may try to live-blog it but I’m not sure I’ll be around a computer or television.
