Michael T. emailed me the link to this speech with the following comment:

Here is a link to Barack Obama’s speech last week.  If you have only seen the snippets on the news and have not seen the speech in its entirety please take the time to watch it.  It is worth your time, well it was worth mine I guess your mileage may vary, YMMV.

If you have dial-up you may not want to view it as it will take quite some time to load, but if you can start it downloading and go paint your house or something, go for it.
