In his speech just concluded in Saint Louis, Obama showed he was very good with specifics, with real programs, and still had the crowd in tears of relief because he spoke to them directly and honestly, bringing out the best they had. This man is a phenomenon, but not just a rhetorical one. He has the sand.
This is not a moment that should be ignored. He's without question the best representative of the country to stand up since FDR or Kennedy.
