Because I went to a Norwegian-American party and that speech was the subject of conversation. There were three men who liked the speech and this gave the four of us a common topic. Two of these men have always taken a straight Lefty position around me in the past. They were aroused by the speech to appreciate the exceptionalist role of America in the world and the vital need for America to be the global protective force against rogue tyrannical regimes.
Thank you Mr. President (whether you believe what you said or not) for generating a wonderful intelligent conversation... one of the greatest gifts anyone can ever give me.
