Hitler was a very powerful speaker, you are absolutely right. It is that type of powerful and motivational speaking that allows leaders to get so many people behind them.

I don’t think drawing such a parallel is in bad taste honestly.

He is a very powerful speaker though.

…so was Hitler.

Oh Yes. I said it.

Oh, of course. Obama himself did nothing for me in terms of wanting to be better other than perhaps, wake me up a little bit.

Like I said, I’m sure nothing will change.

He is a very powerful speaker though.

Obama is a good orator. His voice has…gravity.

However beyond that, all I have ever heard from the content of his speeches are platitudes and generalizations.

I’m not asking for detailed policy descriptions in a victory speech, but tell me what was so unique about this one compared to others in the past. What president-elect has not spouted rhetoric of unity and togetherness? Which one left out the part about turning the country around and working towards a better future?

I could be missing the point, in a speech like this delivery is probably all that matters. Could Obama inspire you reading off a recipe for chicken soup? Would you have been so inspired had you merely read a transcript of this speech?

But hey if it makes you want to be a better person…I would give yourself a little more credit though, I’m pretty sure you wanted to quit smoking before Obama raptured you with Hope’nChange
