    @sonofloud

    All I can say is, this is the speech I was waiting for Obama to make. Outstanding in every respect, in my humble opinion.

    I look forward to hearing more from Obama - I just hope he isn't casting pearls before swine, such as the authors of some of the negative responses posted here.

    I guess that is the danger of living in a society that seems to think rational, intelligent thought is 'elitist'.

    Sonofloud, I don't know if you are illiterate or just stubborn, but your ship has sailed, your train has left the station, your perspective is mired in ignorance and you have missed the boat, and the entire point of Obama's speech.
