Who’s out there? I would love to hear from you who read and lurk (I know you’re there because I can see your IP addresses!). Post a note that lets us know what you’d like me to address in this blog. What topics still nag at you, what questions do you have, what struggles or successes can you share?
This is your chance, so let’s here it!

Oratorical power
Whether or not you support Barack Obama as the next president, his speech on race relations yesterday, “A More Perfect Union,” will go down as one of the great speeches of our time, both rhetorically as well as for its content. Obama wrote this speech (no speech writers) over a two day period, ending somewhere after 2 a.m. the night before he delivered it. This is the first time a president or candidate for president has written his own speech since 1969 when Nixon gave his speech entitled: “The Silent Majority.”
As a piece of powerful writing, I offer it to you to read, enjoy and share with your children.
