Obama Speech: Cautiously Optimistic
Having now had a chance to read Obama's entire speech,
I was impressed that he seems to be saying really a lot of the right
things. This president has suffered from a lack of passion and energy,
especially during the past two years, and I have been very critical of
his having been too-ready and too-willing to cut deals with the
Rightists, even before pushing hard for his own positions. But if this
speech is an indicator of how he intends to campaign in 2012, I am, as Aung San Suu Kyi recently put it, "cautiously optimistic" about democracy in Burma..er, I mean, in America.
