(l NP ) great speech Mr Obama

[Michael Bailey]

I gotta say that was one great speech.  Caught a rerun of it in the
break room at work and stood pretty much at attention till the end.

a) This is one sharp and principled man! (at least, he sure comes
across that way!)
b) very realistic tone - sober - hearing his well chosen words
delivered in a sober tone was worth a lot
c) literate!  sentences parse!
d) repeatedly stressing the costs of war, and commitment to veterans

This is a great president (within the limits of what is accomplishable
in that job) and a human being worth watching!
