I used to think Bill Clinton was a gifted public speaker - but Obama's speech today surpassed anything Clinton delivered, IMO.
I'd even go so far to say I think Obama's speech was even better than Kennedy's inaugural speech.
Obama's speech actually gave me hope that he sincerely intends to make a positive difference. Not only does he have the weight of a tailspin economy and reparations to foreign affairs to deal with - but as the first black president I'm sure he feels the responsibility to prove an African-American can do the job properly.
