You didn't honestly think that he wrote his own speech, did you? :)

Then again, the kid was previously the speechwriter for Kerry's campaign, so I'm not sure I'd be taking his notes either.

For a shit-ton of reasons.

Seriously, I'm a little tired of the hype too, but people aren't just excited because he's black, or bi-racial. They are excited because 79% of the country is optimistic that he's going to be a good president whether they supported him or not, and because 65+% think the last guy was a douchebag, and we're in the middle of oh, a financial crisis, and a war, and people are just kind of looking for something good, and fun, and hopeful, etc., etc., etc.

And it's historic because he's a first.

It was historic when Kennedy was the first Catholic President.

It was historic when Thatcher was the first female British Prime Minister.

Do you all have some kind of logic coloring book that you use to figure life out? Everything must be one of 5 Crayola choices and fit within one little box, and God Forbid anything require any critical thought, blurring of lines, or something more complicated than you can be told to you by your Granny or in a Fox News or MSNBC soundbite!

GAAAAAAA!
