Reading Barack Obama's Speech brought back memories of other famous American speeches and of course in particular Kennedy's "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do your country" and Martin Luther's King's "I Have A Dream".
His speech contains elements of both famed predecessors and here lies the difference: he truly represents the sum of both worlds, white and black, the ideal to attend, "E pluribus unum": "Out of many, one nation".
