Deacon, I'm not an Obama supporter either, but this was by far his best speech.

He is covering his hide for his failed policies, appointed Czars and the Healthcare debacle which shows in his ratings. He has worst ratings at this time of his Presidency than Jimmy Carter.

Re: Obama's Noble Peace Prize Acceptance Speech
It was god to hear him say what he did but was it him or his speech writers and what the TelePrompTer said. Time will tell. Don't expect a Leopard to change its spots.
