And has there been any other head of state ever who, in their very first speech after being elected, addresses his audience as gay or straight, disabled or non-disabled, black or white or whatever colour? Who has dared to use the word 'gay' in such an open fashion?

My hat off to you, sir.

That is all.

my favourite part of his speech was 'yes, you can.'

I thought I might get sick of the 'yes you can' but somehow I didn't.

He also mentioned Native Americans. I live quite close to the Southern Ute reservation, and the local college as part of its charter accepts any student of American tribal descent tuition-free, so there were a whole lot of Ute, Navajo, and other Indians celebrating at our party last night, and when he acknowledged Native Americans they went NUTS. It was really quite awesome.

That is so amazing!! I keep sighing with being moved and being hopeful and being sheer astounded.
