Oh yeah, I more meant ideologically. I was surprised and gratified to hear him speaking so strongly about wealth inequality, sexist wage discrepancies, climate change, further socialized education, closing Gitmo, etc. And that shot of Alan Gross mouthing "Thank you" was powerful.
I have the luxury, or perhaps the burden of remembering when Obama was first elected. I volunteered for him, I knocked on doors for him and I traveled to Ohio the weekend prior to his election to work for him and to see him speak. One of his central themes in his speeches back then was how he was going to close Gitmo. While it is nice to hear him speak about it now, it's a bit shameful too. In 2008 I was really excited regarding the prospects of Barack Obama. In 2012, it was that speech from Bill Clinton that swayed me vote for Obama. I'll be interested to see what he does with his waning time in office.
