"The president hit all the right notes and had exactly the right tone," said former "Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw on MSNBC, shortly after the speech ended. "This is always a test of a presidency. We've been witness to it in our lifetime and through the course of American history."
Brokaw ranked Obama's words with several moving presidential speeches that followed national tragedies, such those from Franklin Roosevelt (the Pearl Harbor attack of 1941), Ronald Reagan (the 1986 Challenger disaster), Bill Clinton (the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing) and George W. Bush (9/11). "So, tonight," Brokaw said, "the president stepped into that role, and [offered] remarks that were tempered and memorable and comforting to those listening on television across the country but also in that hall." end quote.

As I listened on NBC News with Brian Williams, Obama's Speech in Tucson, Arizona I realized this was probably the "Most Important" speech historically of his presidency so far. I realized that because of the 9 year old girl and his friendship with Gabrielle Giffords this had touched him very deeply and Obama was in rare form during this speech. In this speech we saw a humbled father and a deeply religious and spiritual family man bind the wounds of this great and diverse country as only a REAL President with the "Right Stuff" can.  There are only a few Presidents that succeed in this way "like Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George Bush and now Barack Obama. The whole world has just witnessed a Real President Speak who was there for ALL the people.
