It has been a good start … his “Band of Brothers” from the Vietnam War behind him, and hitting core themes everyone knows are out there.
He promises to return America to a place of respect in the world. This is a good place to start his speech, given all that has gone on in the last 3.5 years.
He just chided Bush’s Administration Core Team – Rumsfeld, Powell and Ashcroft – in one sentence without mentioning their names. Good jab.
Now he’s doing some body work … working the other side of “pessimism”, a bit of ju-jitsu against the Bush campaign’s label of pessimism.
….
and he finishes strongly.
He did a good job – best speech I’ve seen.
