President Sarkozy's speech to a Joint Session of Congress on Nov 7th was inspiring! It is perhaps one of the best political speeches I have ever heard. Certainly the best thing I've heard broadcast by C-Span from the halls of congress, since Reagan.
The speech was obviously passionate and heart-felt. President Sarkozy was unabashedly thankful for the role the United States has played in protecting and preserving France during WWI and WWII. After thanking the United States for her protection and being a beacon of liberty throughout the world, he challenged the US to continue to be the best example of democracy and freedom possible. He specifically addressed the negatives of a "speculative" economy and encouraged the US to promote the historic goals of entrepreneurship and free enterprise.
I was left wishing we had a candidate for President in 2008 who was as eloquent and had an equal vision for the Unites States!
