Why did Obama speak in a preacher accent during yesterday's speech?

Was that a deliberate attempt to make him look like Martin Luther King? Previously that accent was only a "South Carolina special" reserved for black churches there. It's the first time I've heard him use it with white audiences.



.....edited title to reflect more accurate description of the accent, whatever it may be, preacher sounds good.
