Yesterday, National Journal's Jim Tankersley introduced us to Nick Hanauer, a venture capitalist from Seattle, whose speech at the TED University conference was deemed "too politically controversial to post on their web site." Last night, NJ produced the full slideshow to accompany the full text of the speech.

I know I'm a little late to the party on this political TED controversy but really this speech was "too politically controversial"? What am I missing?

I remember reading a statement from the TED folk but I don't have the link to it at the moment. If somebody wants to google it :)
