'YES WE CAN'- Obama's sensational speech
For the 1 Million + faithful gathered in the Grant Park and the Millions who saw in TV live possibly the speech made by President Elect in the early morning hours of today at Grant Park was one to remember for a life time. His speech was eloquent, majestic, emotional, soul stirring, outstanding and summed up the hopes of millions around the world. He spoke about his humble beginnings, trials and tribulations, support from family, his hard work for last 20 months and more importantly how much of work lay ahead to fulfil the aspirations of people who had voted as well as not voted for him and the need to stay calm and cool without getting over excited and getting carried away with such landslide win. His punch line 'YES WE CAN' after every pause is bound to become a super duper hit( sounded like our own Visu's punch sentence after every long dialogue in the climax scenes)
For those who missed the live telecast here's the extract of his speech to read and preserve.
Equally impressive was the short and sweet speech of the defeated McCain who accepted defeat with such grace, poise, and elegance and took all the responsibility for the defeat on himself without blaming any of his team mates and extended a sincere olive branch of handshake to work with Obama in the best interests of America. Can't help comparing this scenario with our Indian Democracy and the speech of defeated leaders where typical blame games like allegations of rigging, fraud, impersonation, violation of guidelines, violence are the order of the day with few exceptions. May be it will take light years for our politicians to reach such standards of professional campaigns and graceful acceptance of people's mandate
This Para in Obama's speech summed up his entire approach to his future tenure as America's President
'The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there.'
