I am watching this in HD and it's blowing me away--it is perfectly lit, expertly framed, and the speech is brilliant. It's "light at the end of the tunnel," but with specifics.

Wow--get a load of the suit--nothing left to chance. Even the suit is a "tone" of the overall color scheme, not the usual black/deep navy blue that is usually seen, and the tie is a muted red. Really well done.

I have to hand it to the handlers--great imagery. A++++.
