If the address of the place where he gives his address happens to be on a marble plaque (which isn't all that rare), then it will probably have the address on it.

Of course this is the wrong context, so it's a technicality at best ...

Who remembers Jimmy Carter's speech? That's right, no one will remember this one in 35 years either.

If I hear him compared to Lincoln one more time I'm going to fucking puke. That's sensationalism at it finest.

..get it tattooed on your neck. it'll be the usual vacuous verbatim that will blow by on his teleprompter. He's an empty vessal which words have been poured into. Take the teleprompter away and he sounds like a choking parrot.

Are there seriously people on here who don't understand the historic significance of this address? You people don't belong on the internet.

There's a whole thread on just that topic over in P&N, seriously.

That depends entirely on the next four to eight years. Whether he is a great president. worthy of a monument is up to him. He'll be in the history books for being first, of course, but great? We'll soon see.

The only thing I've heard more of than mindless Obama-worship, is bitching about Obama worship by sore losers.

Nope, not one bit, another politician got elected to be President of the US. What's so great about it? Do tell.

Don't you know? What matters is the color of his skin, not the content of his character.

Why aren't you a shining beacon of intelligence and tolerance. Anyone who has a differing view from yours should be banned from the Internet? I assume you will be volunteering for the Obama Brown Shirts intimidation mob, correct?

People are getting too excited about this. He's not going to flip America 180. He's gonna be a really centrist president that straddles the fence on a lot of issues, not some radical black guy that's taking it to the Man from the inside. He's not MLK, the agendas are totally different.

U2 takes the lead!

I really hope he does change things. I hope that in the future people will talk about how the first black president saved the nation. I honestly do...

I don't expect anything close to that to happen though.

If Lincoln was here he would punch you right in your face.

If you don't think this is one of the most significant events in US history then your are either in denial or are completely delusional.

To deny that it is about race is to accept ignorance as tolerable.
