Reflections on Obama’s acceptance speech
12 hours ago ago from Tim Unwin\'s Blog
In response to my own blog earlier in the day, I have to admit that Obama's acceptance speech contains much that is good I only hope that he is able to live up to these fine words! It is good to see him acknowledge that there are others far more deserving: Compared to some of the giants of history who have received this prize — Schweitzer and King; Marshall and Mandela — my accomplishments are slight. And then there are the men and ...

The entire speech is anger inducing, but here are the 'low'lights . . . But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their examples alone.

But Mr. Obama added that "as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation," he could not be guided only by Dr. King's example.
