"...and if we do – if we come together and lift this nation from the depths of this crisis; if we put our people back to work and restart the engine of our prosperity; if we confront without fear the challenges of our time and summon that enduring spirit of an America that does not quit, then someday years from now our children can tell their children that this was the time when we performed, in the words that are carved into this very chamber, "something worthy to be remembered." Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America."

I really need to listen to the entire speech. Wonderful, noble photo of him you've posted. It is so wonderful to finally have an *adult* president who speaks so eloquently and knows how to conjugate verbs properly!
I will admit Obama rivals Hitler in his ability to move the masses with his speeches....

I must admit that the comparison of someone of Obama's caliber to a person as hideously cruel,
egomaniacal and self-serving as A.D. gave me the chills.
I think the 'masses' to which you refer are, for the most part, people who actually believe we CAN change our nation's future for the better. No matter what color, religion, sexual orientation, or background.
A.H., not A.D.
