It was inspiring and definitely the right speech for the time.  The only glitches for me where the references to God, yet they can be replaced by 'our good nature', so there is no wall of dogma to hold against.  I suppose the mention of God for the US electorate may still be absolutely necessary, or he feels forced to remind he is no Muslim, because he´s making a bigger deal about going to church in the morning, than any ex would.

There were brilliant points about ex-regime that made me happy to see 43 forced to sit through with the disgusting, fake smirk.  At least he got some, worldwide broadcast, slaps while captive, silenced and powerless.  I hope it´s only the beginning.

I have hopes about Obama, but not instant ones and I am convinced he could not come even close to the last, in doing harm, even if he tried.  It´s a major relief of what I dread in the news everyday.
