President Obama Is Large And In-Charge!

USPresidentialSealImage via Wikipedia

Tonight, President Obama made his first address to a joint session of Congress outlining the budget and economic goals.

In light of what has been happening in the US, and what I consider the ongoing "strangulation" of the US by ideology, I really wasn't expecting much. Well, I'm pleasantly surprised. None of this dilly dallying, or waffling (although we still need a definitive bank plan). There was Candidate Obama, but with authority - and boy, did he let us know it. Strong clear leadership in plain English. Finally!

I've read a lot of biographies and autobiographies of world leaders, and I've met quite a few and even served as a Senator and Deputy Finance Minister. I've followed politics all of my short life, and have been mostly intrigued with the most difficulty times in history, and the most challenging political problems. But frankly, if I tried to summarize this performance, I could not do it justice.

This is the kind of speech, the kind of tone, the kind of delivery, the kind of language and the kind of leader that the moment calls for.

Well done, President Obama!

It was one of the most profound and meaningful speeches I have ever heard. I was exhausted and wanted to sleep, but could not tear myself away from the TV. Walking away from political speeches is usually VERY easy for me. I hope that all Americans will help him reach the goals he is aiming for, because I truly believe that he will do all he can to help you, and in turn that will benefit the entire world.
This is history in the making.....and good history at that!
