I watched it too and agree completely. It was an awesome speech and it is a bummer that so many people here are knocking him without having seen it.
The entire event is up at CSPAN. Wish everyone would go and watch it. Jon Voigt was also awesome!

Obama can give an “awesome” speech too. So what? I prefer to follow John Erlichman’s dictum: Watch what we say, not what we do.
That should be “watch what we do, not what we say.”
Talk is cheap. He talked a good game back in 94 when we took over the house and then threw it all away trying to kiss up to Clinton. Anyone can talk. I look at actions and one of Newt's most despicable actions was sitting on that couch with Pelosi. No amount of speeches will change that. He also disses Rush trying to get the media on his side. He is just another RINO IMO. Yep, I liked his speech but I don't like him and will never vote for him.
