43. Magnificent speech...

Wed Aug 19, 2020, 11:03 PM

Aug 2020

Someone on Brian Williams 11PM News show called Obama's speech-
"Towering".
It was. It SO was.

Watching his expressions... when he started talking about Democracy - it seemed like he was almost fighting back tears. Many more powerful expressions as he talked about different aspects of America, of Trump, voring etc

Imho, his greatest speech ever.
Or in a small Pantheon of his top speeches.

Must have transcript...
