Jeez, I wish I could find it again. But shortly after BHO made the speech, someone linked the phrases he used to speeches given by other leaders. (Not so original)

"At this point, it's too early to tell if it's soft soap or historic,"

Historic??? Historic disaster perhaps. The pastor Wright issue is still hanging over him. All Obama did in the speech was admit he was a liar (not directly, but he contridicted what he was saying days before and NO ONE called him on it). The only purpose of the speech was to cover his butt. How is that historic in any way shape of form? And it did not even work.

"... when Sen. Barack Obama delivered his "A More Perfect Union" speech in mid-March, commentators were quick to call it "historic."
Now...knee deep in "bitterness" and loss in Pennsylvania, chances may be slimmer that his speech will make it into mainstream history textbooks."

Of course it'll make the 'historic' role in text books.
It sounds too good for mere facts keep it out.

School kids still believe that the Emancipation Proclamation 'freed the slaves', FDR ended the depression, and JFK was an antiwar liberal.

By the time his statements hit the texts Obama's gigandous flaws will have been forgotten in the socio-political free for all that will follow the 2008 elections. He'll be an icon to sufficient numbers of liberals to assure his place in tomorrow's propaganda.

After taking out the Sections about George Washington, and Lewis & Clark, they will have more than enough room for this.
