Worth keeping the link. Better quality than Youtube's are likely to be.

2. This should be

required to be either shown or read aloud in every classroom in America every year.This is as important as the Gettysburg Address if not more so.

4. Yes, and fulfillment of MLK's speeches too

It will become one for the annals so long as he is able to govern with as much clarity and integrity as he conveys.

I have great great hope.

3. He delivered it with no notes, no teleprompter

I went to bed thinking about that speech, and woke up thinking about it, his clarity and the confidence and hope he inspires.

I heard him give the speech on the radio last night, and assumed it was something he was reading, but seeing him here made it even more remarkable. What a gift he is sharing with us all.

I especially liked his words for his wife....and the way he almost smiles when he says things, like he's sometimes tickling his own funny bone when he says certain things.

What a treasure!

5. I know! That blew my mind and made his words genuine.

He is a man that comes from the heart. He truly believes what he is doing. He is no one's puppet.

6. That's such a nice way of putting it.

Yes he really is a treasure.
