Seems I'm late on my response as both have been covered now, but.... Mother Nature is an unforgiving mistress and communities rebuilding themselves speaks highly of the people in them...NOT the gov't clowns! As willing stated....Good speech writers and a clear teleprompter can make Hitler sound like Ghandi! |

Not bad I must say! out of curiousity,, did you notice him reading from any teleprompters at this speech I have seen him twice, never a teleprompter, and very eloquent speaker,,,, I just wonder why people continue to insist that its the teleprompter that causes his eloquence or ability to speak ? |

JOPLIN, Mo. — President Barack Obama says the graduating seniors of a Missouri town devastated by deadly tornadoes are a "source of inspiration" to him and the nation.
Obama says the story of Joplin, Mo., is one of a community coming together in response to tragedy. The president was speaking on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the tornado that killed 161 people. Joplin High School was destroyed and the students spent their senior year taking classes in a converted department store. Obama says the graduating class can use it as a lesson that, in his words, "we can define our own lives not by what happens to us, but by how we respond." Obama says that in the town of 50,000 people, nearly 50,000 more came to help after the tornado. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/state-and-regional/obama-joplin-graduates-are-source-of-inspiration/article_42ac4964-a3b4-11e1-9985-001a4bcf6878.html Parts of his speech are on the link. It was a touching speech about the people in Joplin. Next month my church's youth group will be back in Joplin to help some more. |

It was a touching speech about the people in Joplin. Next month my church's youth group will be back in Joplin to help some more. I think it was a wonderful heartfelt speech. It doesn't matter who wrote the words...its how it is delivered that makes the difference when it comes to a speech. It doesn't matter when he came...the fact that he came says alot. There are terrible tragedies all over the country so if we were to be realistic there is absolutely no way he could appear at every anniversary of a tragedy that has happened. I volunteered to help with a food drive to help families in Joplin as well as collect various donations such as clothing, money, batteries, etc. If anything those who graduate probably feel honored and yet the president was honored to be in their presence which would make any graduate feel proud. I send my prayers as well as my congrats to those who graduated. Their stories are truly inspirational and it just shows how a town can pull together in the mist of a tragedy. I know we all have our opinions and I respect everyone's opinion so I hope this post does not offend anyone because that was not my intent. |
