Yeah, the Kenyan says a lot of things.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Per your source, it seems the German public was no different in their reception of Hilter's May 1935 Reichstag speech (in question) than the U.S. public in their reception of Obama's Tucson speech. No doubt, there will be more of the same such reception when Obama delivers his SOTU.

From your source...

The response of the German public [to Hitler's speech] was predictably positive. Newsweek reported “Britons found the speech reassuring” ... For itself, Newsweek saw in it a number of “conciliatory points."

Amazing that the American public, like the German public of Hitler's time, is so stupid as to believe that men of evil intentions are incapable of hiding those intentions behind a speech either committed to memory or read from a teleprompter.

"Words, just words?" Well, yes...that's the point, isn't it?
