Nothing since Reagan has been as good in presidential oratory.
The president's speech writers crafted a luminescent call to arms. It was measured without being weak; it was moving without a trace of melodrama; it was stirring without being jingoist. And there was something about the president's demeanor that suggested to me at last that he knows why he got this office.
To speak of his growth at this point would be to condescend. He gets it. He means it. He knows what this war is fundamentally about.
My cherished moment was when he rightly described this threat - and its twisted ideology - with the other great evils that have threatened freedom in the last century and before. "The unmarked grave of discarded lies" is a phrase that resonates deeply and truly.
God bless the man and the country he finally indisuptably leads.
