I heartily approve of the fact that words beautifully crafted and spoken can change the course of history.

None. It was for comparison purposes to Barack's inaugural. So, I take it you're not as smitten with your new pres as the rest of the world.

I admit, if I were to make up dystopic scifi scenarios, I'd start with a charismatic leader appearing in a time of crisis.

O I'm all for charisme, I'm just not attracted to pro-private sector conservatism posing as an improvement.
