Wow, that's a good speech. I had heard he knocked out a really good one I just never actually heard it. Nice little inspirational hook with that repeated phrase.

Yeah, series of words said in front of a crowd meant to convey an idea and/or inspire-what a hack...

Right, right. ;)
Edit: to be serious for a moment, I really did find those lines cringeworthy, not due to the delivery, but because I actually paid attention in the majority of my civics classes, and had heard each of them several times before in archive filmstrips. :p Of course, 2005's "yes we can" was slightly less unoriginal, but the rest was simple catchphrase rehash.
I actually rather liked it.
It does not matter if it sounds rehashed, most speeches about hope or trying to inspire within the same theme are going to sound alike sometimes because their within the same theme.
It is how he conveys it. With energy, and sincerity. I talked to a county prosecuter who has participated in campaigns before but on the opposite party I believe, and he said that when he saw Obama speak Obama had an energy unlike any other politician he has ever encountered. That it was like electricity.
Few if any politicians today have that amazing "electric" vibe that catches all.
I actually rather liked it.
Which would be a major point against it for sane people.
