Down To A Simmer

What happened to the electrifying and energizing speeches that Obama used to put out in the primaries up until the day after the nomination. Now he just seems barely more enthusiastic with his material than someone announcing a resignation. Clearly there's no point in holding your breath for that elusive "I have a dream" moment in this campaign. There seems to be a moratorium on delivering anything from the Deomcratic candidate that might raise your heart rate. With that has died the fire that kindled the fact that this was really a history in the making. Now all we hear is a boring annual report speech at your local town hall. Sure everything is precisely orchestrated and every possible angle analyzsed to death before even a single sentence is said. Leave the stoic act to the professors and let's revive that fire. There's enough to be said that empowers everyone without having to polarize.
