January 20 was the President-Elect Barack Obama's date with history.
Watching and listening to Obama's inauguration speech was truly inspiring. So crisp and clear about his fundamental themes, so confident and articulate. He truly is a master communicator. It seemed like every word was coming from the heart. Conviction was written all over his words, style and articulation. In addition to what he said, what struck me was how he said it and the body language. Here's a man who appears completely in control and supremely confident of what he'd like to do and in what direction he would like the US and the world to move forward.
Indian politicians could learn a thing or two from Obama about how to speak to get the point across. Most can't speak a few sentences without the crutch of notes. More importantly, they sound lame and most unconvincing.
Let's go back to November 5 when he scored this momentous victory. On that day, in a speech to a sea of supporters at Chicago's Grant Park, he said: 'I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington -- it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston'.
He believed that his country would respond to the spirit of his campaign. Yes we can was his motto. Right from the beginning of the campaign he told his team members: 'We're up against the most formidable team. But we've got a plan and we've got to have faith in it'.
