President Obama gave a somber, powerful speech that left me frozen and speechless in its implications. It was the speech of a senior statesman, not a politician. It was a speech of someone who loves this country and its people. It reminded me of President Lyndon Johnson's speech where he said he would not run for reelection and would focus on ending the Vietnam War. He became a statesman in that moment. President Obama became a true statesman this evening. We need him.
