Thanks for the link. I'll probably take a break for lunch and watch it on television.

I must admit I've been a little concerned about the expectations management for this event. I see mention of 1,000,000 people attending. Anything below that figure will get trumpeted by the anti-Obama crowd as a failure. I'm really hoping this will be an awe-inspiring event and that the reaction to it will be overwhelmingly favorable around the world.

Obama is well-known worldwide, but this speech is his first real introduction to most of the world. It's kind of like a coming-out party.
