I attended the event last night and your article it bears little resemblance to essence of Senator Obama's speech. Portions of his speech were quoted out of context, which totally changed the original intent. The Senator speaks of change and he was humorous, intelligent and he illuminated all aspects of our current government that are in dire need of resurrection. I would like to comment on your quote, “It’s not just our military that makes us a great nation.” Senator Obama was referencing America's misuse of power in the world and his desire to restore America's image in the world by using the power of the tongue, not just that of a rifle. I am gravely disappointed in your portrayal of the event and I walked away from the event feeling that there IS hope in this world, that the government will finally be restored and Obama is the first glimpse of HOPE that I have felt in many years of disappointment. He is bright, funny, thoughtful, and we would all be fortunate to have such a man in our oval office.
