‘We will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick.’

Obama: “I face this challenge with profound humility.”

Is it humble to tell us how profound your humility is?

Obama’s crowd, nonetheless, is screaming itself hoarse in jubilation over this speech.

UPDATE: The big finish: “We will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.”

Until 2008, Americans did not provide “care for the sick”?
