IK HOU VAN JOU, MARK

Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere about 8000 miles in diameter, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor, tilt its axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light, freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle, cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to five days in advance!

"we will extend a hand if you will unclench your fist"

Me too.....also the thinly veiled comment about abandoning our ideals for a false sense of safety....or something similar.

I was moved by the whole thing actually. Just......WOW

"We are the real countries,

Not the boundaries drawn on maps,

With the names of powerful men.

That's all I've wanted -

To walk in such a place with you,

On an earth without maps."

Yes basically the whole thing, I was awed. It did make sense he said something about a nation cannot prosper if it caters only to the prosperous..that makes sense especially in this economy. I know he cannot change the world and work miracles, but he darn well can inspire everyone to try!

Best part of the speech: learning that his speech writer is HOT.

It's not like the speech is important on this occasion. Who's listening anyway?

Our deputy actually delayed the start of his weekly meeting and we watched. Maybe a new face will have a better chance in changing Washington than someone who has played the game for years and years :unsure:

I just want to have this one day to believe. Before all the disapointments and the other powers that be that actually seem to run our country. I just want this one moment to believe him, to be moved, to be the America I wish we could be. At least for one day.

I think some perspective is called for here - it was just a frigging speech.

Speeches are all well and good - but they don't fix the economy, the healthcare system, or end the war in Iraq.

Perhaps some people do think that spending $150 million on feel-good symbolism is worthwhile. I get the symbolism (I really do), but I find it very hard to find a justification for spending that kind of money on a glitzy show when the country is up ####### creek.

Actually, a good speech can change a lot of things. A good speech can move the heart, the soul and give one hope.

In this climate it is what a lot of this country needs. They've been incredibly let down and lied to over the past 8 years.

You shouldn't be so dismissive. Words DO have immense power.
