Speak about a speech you have listened to

Well sir, as we all know speeches are common in our democracy.
And there are speeches delivered by politicians, scientists, statesmen etc.

Recently, I happened to listen to a speech
It was delivered by none other than the new US president.
The occasion was the victory Mr. Barak Obama had in the last US Election.
As the 44th President of the US, he was addressing the nation.

The speech was held at the Victory square, at Gattisburg.
I listened to it on the web, when CNN telecast it live.

When it comes to the speech, it was basically inspiring.
Obama addressed a lot of issues in his speech:
Like Iraq, Afghanistan, war on terror, slavery, poverty, war, nuclear
threat, environemtal concerns and so goes the list.

The most interesting thing about the speech was his repeated reference
to his election slogan, Yes We Can. And we need to change.
He was addressing the people of the US in particular, and the world in general.
He was extolling the American virtues, values and achievements.

The language he employed throughout his speech was simple.
He was straightforward and his words were really transparent.
HE SOUNDED SINCERE AND HE SPOKE REAL BUSINESS.

He seemed to have taken extra care not to make any negative references.
He even praised his opponent in the fray Mr. McCane, and he thanked
him for his cooperation and understanding throughout his one year long
election campaign across America.

And the whole speech, spanning upto an hour, was an extempore, and I sat
watching him rewriting the history on the US.
Frankly, speaking, I myself got inspired by his words, his ‘Yes, we
can’, attitude is worth following.
That is all about the speech I listened to.
