President Obama Addresses British Parliament 2011

How in the world could I have missed this.  Thanks to the re-post of it by someone today to bring back a point in time of where the world was.  President Obama's eloquence in delivery and content of substance compared to who occupies the Office of the President today makes me want to cry.  I did.

In a world where we acknowledge giants that humbly say they only stood on the shoulders of giants but in fact raise us to new levels we have an extremely small leader standing on the shoulders of our past president.  That is not the way things should work. 

The brave march forward toward ideals in the face of acknowledgement that history tells us they were not always met in the past but give is resolve to continue was the concluding thought to the address of 2011.  The march forward together is now the march of America First. 

I look at Natural Language with thoughts about its ambiguities and need for greater precision to address our problems.  President Obama's use of English in the home of the language to express fundamental concepts that have determined our past and will continue to guide our future is a most elegant inspiration with no ambiguity of what we must do to assure not only the benefits of the future to our two nations but the entire world.

It is in implementation of our ideals that we must be more precise and less ambiguous in the Information Age.
