“A great resolve,” actually. But the spirit is there!

You might be right, but I have read variously that he used the words "terrible resolve." Personally, I like to think that the "terrible resolve" is what has been awakened in this nation regarding Healthcare and Amnesty. A terrible resolve would mean the unconditional surrender of liberalism to the side of decency.

“I fear that we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.”

Googled “Sleeping giant filled with great remorse”
and I got proof that remorse is correct. Top of the
list. No kidding (in a circular logic kind of way).
