when he spoke about the "sacred chamber" where America has met the greatest challenges to turn them into possibilities.

(205,731 posts)5. But he didn't go negative and that was the right choice
First, it isn't like him, and second, these times are stressful enough. He managed to be reassuring which is what we need the most right now.

(21,555 posts)6. Absolutely. He hit the right note.
It was a fantastic speech.
Unifying despite the boos from the fascist gallery.
Upbeat, positive, and substantive.

(205,731 posts)9. Same here. We're facing so much on so many fronts right now
And he managed to be both honest and reassuring, exactly what we needed to hear.
