President Obama's wrap up on this speech is the height of eloquence, calling on us as a nation to rise above the frey, and do what's right.

September 09, 2009

The President has said what to do, how to do it and why to do it. I'm moved by the coherence of this speech.

September 09, 2009

This is an excellent speech by the President. Instead of going to the extremes, he's making the case for doable action and accountability.
