Was it good for you too?

  Marc Ambinder gets his groove on:   The Best Speech Obama’s Given Since…Maybe Ever Today, at Ft. Hood. I guarantee: they’ll be teaching this one in rhetoric classes. It was that good. My gloss won’t do it justice. Yes, I’m having a Chris Matthews-chill-running-up-my-leg moment, but sometimes, the man, the moment and the words [...]
