Obama's speech

[Shane2]

He's doing pretty good.

"We know the government can't solve every problem".

That's true.


"Patriotism and responsibility."

Good to hear that.


Now he's quoting Lincoln. Good again.

[UTgrad98]

My wife and I are bawling like babies right now. I am very proud to be an American. Hope is a wonderful thing.

[Shane2]

He ended with "God bless America".

Amen to that.

[editionshield]

he echoed lincoln's gettysburg address,

and he echoed martin luther king's last-ever speech.

pretty clear where he was trying to come from, historically -- and as that history points toward the future.
