THE SPEECH

I couldn't stay up for Obama's speech in Tucson the other night.

But when I got to the gym in the morning, a friend, for Obama but not an especially ardent fan, raved about it.

I came home and watched it immediately. I had not other commitments, a Thursday morning.

I was in tears. I felt a part of. I didn't know that I needed catharsis.

The reviews were tremendous. Even the usual critics praised his work.

This is what I would expect. I am a deep, deep admirer and partisan for Obama, as you know, but I do not often get this moved by his communications. I expect high quality. This surpasses almost all the speeches that I have heard. Certainly since he became our President.

Have you listened to the whole thing? Do not miss the experience if you have not yet seen this.

Full screen, please.
