Normally, I stand diametrically opposite President Obama on most issues. But I liked this speech!

I could get cynical about this speech and say that President Obama simply realized that those who were seeking to politicize the event were not getting anywhere, so he gave this gracious speech. But I refuse to do that. I choose to take it at face value. I don't usually like to listen to him, but, imho, this was a high-water moment for the President!
