This speech is masterful

[housewolf]

He's touching ALL the bases... what's right and what's wrong, what needs work, what accomplishments have been made... it's brilliant. There aren't many applause lines, but taken as a whole, this is a masterful speech.

[spahhh]

1. i'm inspired...

to work even harder now, knowing that all my efforts will not be in vain.

2. Malia approves.

It seems clear he asked her "How'd I do?" ... and she gave approval. That was precious! :rofl:

3. Loved the slapdown of Bush

and how he held out the hope that we WILL have equality. Loved him recognizing that this is a country of many faiths--and of those who are atheists. First time in any Inaugural that I believe this was acknowledged.

[Pithlet]

4. It was.

That is a perfect description.
