Excellent, well delivered speech.

Much more reminiscent of FDR (from what I've read) than JFK or others he
has been compared to.

A lot of promises, a lot of lectures and social commentary. Question is
.... can he deliver?

I didn't listen to it. I don't intend to listen to McCain's speech next
week, either. I know what to expect - speeches long on promises, short
on details of how they are to be fulfilled. Mostly meaningless.

What I want to see are some true debates. Something where each candidate
has something thrown at him that he doesn't expect. I want to see how
each handles himself when that happens. But I probably won't see that.
The "debates" they have these days are so regulated as to content that
the candidates never see anything unexpected. More's the pity, because
the President must show the ability to be quick-thinking and decisive in
a crisis. I'm not sure I see that in either of these gentlemen.
