OBAMA's speech yesterday, as well as the ones today and tomorrow, was and will be very important. Not the most important, nor even the best oratories ever given.

But the content factual and clear, the issues remarkably on target, and presented in a way that invites dialogue.

"The art of teaching is clarity and the art of learning is to listen." - zen quote

The agenda of smearing Obama has provided many here and in the MSM the disability of deafness.
