Speech Doctor to the President

I spent some time this morning (Wednesday) rewriting the President’s speech last night.  It would have been a far more humble (and shorter) speech, not only thanking those who supported him,  but promising them he would as avidly seek their support during the next four years, seeking not donations and door knocks and votes this time, but phone calls, emails, letters, Tweets, and homing pigeons if necessary, to get Congress to acknowledge the groundswell behind the President's policies. 

Some of President Obama's final words do underlie those policies:

"I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here in America if you're willing to try. "

Those words sound the notes that have indeed made America great!
