The President's speech will go down in history as one of the great ones, alongside Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. He was clear and inspiring. God bless him.

What I love so much about the speeches of Lincoln and Bush is that there is no histrionics, no great attempt to sound grandiose, no embedding meaning in layers and layers of extra words and allusions.

It is always the unadorned truth presented in simple, direct sentences. The majesty of the style lies in its simplicity.
