Thank you Wolfstar, for all the beautiful memories. I have often thought that the last part of his first inaugeral speech was one of the most beautiful speeches I’ve ever heard. I think those words will go down in history like the Gettysburg address. The words about the angels and the whirlwind.
You are so very welcome, WVNan. I could not agree with you more about GWB's beautiful, lyrical First Inaugural Address. I memorized those closing paragraphs almost instantly after first hearing them, and have quoted them often through the years. I did so earlier on this thread. Please see Post #67 here.
Given the events that occurred just over 7 months later, I am continually struck by the prophetic nature of this Address. I don't think GWB's First Inaugural gets the credit it deserves, mostly because the media only credits Democrats with being able to deliver a great speech.
