If you missed it, here’s the transcript from Obama’s speech from last night.
What you won’t get from reading it (that was obvious when watching) is how angry he was: dark eyes, tense jaw, stiff neck, and a light mist of sweat ‘cross his furrowed brow. At times he all but fumed as he turned from left teleprompter to right.
I must admit, I took some pleasure in watching Obama rail against the forces that would impede his mighty (and wrong-headed) will.
What a proud and foolish man he seems.
He always seemed so, to me – but I tried to believe it was the ecstacy of adoring crowds and the headyness of the historical import of his impending victory. I hoped the smug and self-congratulatory air would leave him a few days, or a few weeks, into office.
Not so.
Vanity, thy name is now President.
