This country of ours has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military on Earth, but that's not what makes us strong. Our universities and our culture are the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores.
Instead, it is that American spirit - that American promise - that pushes us forward even when the path is uncertain; that binds us together in spite of our differences; that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen, that better place around the bend.
That promise is our greatest inheritance. It's a promise I make to my daughters when I tuck them in at night, and a promise that you make to yours - a promise that has led immigrants to cross oceans and pioneers to travel west; a promise that led workers to picket lines, and women to reach for the ballot.
- Barack Obama

It's easy to write a good speech when you have a good message to communicate.
I mean - who can write a good speech over the topic; Four more years of the same mess.

Originally posted by no1marauderIt was a nice speech with oratorial flourishes here and there, but like all his speeches, it leaves you wondering: Where's the beef? Face it, The One is nothing but an empty suit.

It's hilarious to see him without a teleprompter. Gibbering idiot.
Originally posted by SickboyNice try, but Bush lost a synapse on that one, and it was indeed embarrassing. The video posted here was a 5 minute marathon of Obama going Duuuurrrrrhhhhh, where he just babbled about nothing and didn't make any sense at all. Even Bush isn't that stupid. Obama is an affirmative action choice.
