Interesting points that were made around, barack presential elect:

• Could ‘Team Clinton’ sit in the wings?
• The gettysburg address (the most famous speech of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and one of the most quoted speeches in United States history. It was delivered at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the decisive Battle of Gettysburg.Abraham Lincoln’s carefully crafted address, secondary to other presentations that day, came to be regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American history. In just over two minutes, Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union, but as “a new birth of freedom” that would bring true equality to all of its citizens, and that would also create a unified nation in which states’ rights were no longer dominant.

  Beginning with the now-iconic phrase “Four score and seven years ago…”, Lincoln referred to the events of the Civil War and described the ceremony at Gettysburg as an opportunity not only to dedicate the grounds of a cemetery, but also to consecrate the living in the struggle to ensure that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”.

• The conversation above, was around the similarities of Obama’s speeches, those that evoke emotion and passion, to that of Lincoln.
• The outside chance of a Obama assination?
• Does America vote on the brand as opposed to the the policies?

The conversation moved on.

Observation were made and letters were ‘penned’ to the city council uttering remarks of disgust. Apperently the complaint was perfect prose and the content was so well put that the council never bothered replying.
