(6,064 posts)He nailed it. Touched on all angles. Even quoted Kennedy and his reasons for trying to reach a deal peacefully with our enemies and it worked!!

(154,021 posts)not just the speech, linked at the bottom, but a link to the agreement and our short analysis of it. Yes, the WH released the whole treaty, with some commentary, and you too can play US Senator and go read it. I highly recommend it.
(I come from a very different media culture and I know it shows)

(16,254 posts)I'll bet some of those old neocons and warmongers who were so hot to trot under W have heads exploding all over the place with Obama's statement about those "war-hungry politicians" since many of them all but live on FOX.
If you go there, please report back to us that don't have strong stomachs. Thanks in advance.

(16,254 posts)I haven't been able to sit down and listen to the speech, but when I saw the photo of him smiling or laughing, I figured he was going to pay for it.
He has to be driving them mad. They've done everything but call him "Boy!" and he still walks away the winner. He is thoroughly enjoying the last part of his term and so am I.
It will sure be sad when he leaves office.

(8,217 posts)I read his speeches though, and consider most of them as exceptional.
This one actually did not make me cringe and change the channel.
So yeah, this to me was done well.

He gave more than sufficient cover for any member of Congress who still feels he or she needs it.

(10,044 posts)He covers all the bases. Must have taken a couple of weeks of taking notes to put it together.

(32,727 posts)ever heard him give. I'm not terribly interested in the Iran topic, but this speech kept my attention. I learned a lot about what's at stake. Kind of reminded me of Bill Clinton's speech at the 2012 DNC.
