I'll usually try to stay away from the din of day-to-day politics, but I thought I'd copy-paste a comment made by a reader at Andrew Sullivan's on today's speech. It puts the nail in the coffin of last November.
All my problems with Obama's handling of the financial crisis, the details about Gitmo, footdragging on DADT, etc. or any other details since he took office fade away when I read the speech. He is absolutely the right man for the job.
There is no other candidate that ran for President that could deliver this speech. They couldn't write it, they couldn't deliver it with any sort of credibility, and in all likelihood wouldn't even want to try.
