Thoughts on "The Speech" Tonight

I'm likely blaspheming in the eyes of some of you but isn't this thing being hyper-hyped, over-talked about? Will he be his usual pie in the sky/philospher or will he be the intelligent tiger he needs to be now?
There seems to be this religious call that all African Americans must drop everything they are doing to watch this speech, and I certainly will, and I will do whatever's necessary to get him elected...BUT there's only ONE speech that counts to me: when he takes the oath of office in sight of places we were once dragged in slave coffles , and 150 miles from where we were first put ashore at Jamestown to work and die. Then I will fall to myknees and weep. Anything before that is just cake without the icing...hype in a football stadium...
And let us not forget that, in the words of a commenter on this blog, the "Nuremburg Rally" begins next week--complete with songs, flags and invective and the loving nuture of bloggers, Fox News and Glen Beck. Speeches before January mean nothing till those voices are humbled and shamed.
