I now know why you shouldn't listen to the candidates directly. Obama is a fantastic speaker. Easy to get caught up in if he goes full bore. As good a reason as any to make sure you don't listen to campaign speeches. Getting caught up in charisma does not enable one to make good decisions on election issues.
Uh, oh. There are some real issues in this speech. Individual liberty and 'spirit of service'... eep! Someone did not manage their incompatible terms properly. Individual liberty is completely incompatible with anything other than a voluntary decision to help. Government does not factor. Gah! Any suggestions concerning a 'national service' or similar stuff... these are ideas that are not compatible with the idea of individual liberty. Please, that kind of thinking is straight up stupid.
