Subject: RE: BS: Obama Honeymoon lasts 3 days
This morning Obama delivered what I consider to be a few brief remarks that were of Gettysburg Address stature and wisdom.

These remarks were made at the National prayer breakfast.
There was only one incidence of brief light applause.
I am left thinking if the audidnce was stunned, understood what was being said, or did not take in the truth of what was being said.

There will eventually be a transcript that can be posted here or elswhere, and then you may judge for yourselves the historical impact of those few words.

As for me, I heard the expression of all my feelings about religion condensed down to a sparkling gem.
