That speech is just a promise to do what America has been doing. There's nothing into it but instead you guys are reading in between the lines too much. You are also forgetting that obama is appealing to both ends of the divided political ideology i.e. trusted leader vs politician. The former is dangerous if you're running for such a high profile position. Good example is Chavez....couldnt do it through elections and had to overthrow the govt even though he's become addicted to the power and starting to sound like a dictator.

What i truly believe is that none of us really understands how sweet and powerful that position is.....i'm sure you understand this much better if you are a manager.
