Yesterday, I sat, watching Barack Obama give the sermon, er, speech of his life. I felt transformed, renewed, and refreshed after his words concluded. Across the country words of support poured in, and people became changed. Indeed, he rose above the petty blame-game and united people. 

After the speech many news outlets invited pundits on to argue about the speech. I did not watch. I simply turned on CSPAN and watched him as he moved through the arena, shaking hands and speaking with people. He was a pastor yesterday evening.
