I agree totally.
They are in big, big trouble down there. He gets that. The time for personal agenda is over. They need to pull together. I thought his comments too about PC were dead on. And he knows what it is to come from nothing to something so he speaks with validity to their American Dream that they so like to press....from nothing to everything... he is living proof.
The message is brilliant, and one which I believe Obama is working toward.
The big thing is, his message WAS non partisan. The things he spoke to, PC, taxes, deficit, healthcare, are all problems that have crossed political lines. They have been problems no matter which party has been in power, and the reason is, the "solutions" presented have all been partisan rather than cooperative.
The democrats and the republicans are all in the same boat. Neither can claim the high ground.
