10. If you think that's an insult, it isn't. Personally, I like the fact
that he can gather and use different opinions and povs that are good and incorporate them into the fantastic speech he gave. For instance...

Invoking Teddy Roosevelt, Obama Finds His Voice

snip//

Like many people who voted for Obama in 2008, I have been critical of some of his actions and inactions. What has bothered me most has not been any one thing in particular, but his overall failure to articulate and defend the vision of an activist government tackling market failures and protecting the public interest, which Teddy Roosevelt helped to create. Yes, the President has done some positive things and made some good speeches, and, yes too, he has faced enormous difficulties, but all too often his heart hasn’t seemed to be in the fight.

Today, at last, he found his voice, or Teddy Roosevelt’s voice—or, as some are suggesting, Elizabeth Warren’s voice. Any way, it was a big improvement.
