GREAT MOMENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES

For the past year, CBS Late Show host David Letterman has had a barrel of laughs with the segment GREAT MOMENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES.  The segment always began with some of the most powerful and memorable speeches of 2 former president's, but would then switch to a baffling and buffoonery speech by George W. Bush.  Last Friday, in the wake of Bush's waning days in the White House, Letterman paid special tribute with his final "GREAT MOMENTS" segment.  Here is the special Late Show montage tribute.  WATCH:

 PRESIDENT and MRS. BARACK H. OBAMA

`

There once was a time when a black man in America was considered 3/5ths of a person.  In 1901, it was unheard of for a black man to even be able to dine at the White House.  Now 100 years later a black man will live and preside there.

CONGRATULATIONS  Barack Obama, on breaking barriers and making history by becoming the first African-American President of the United States!

A DREAM FULFILLED

Today is KING DAY, as the nation celebrates what would have been the 80th birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Tomorrow is OBAMA DAY, as the nation will inaugurate the first African-American President of the United States.  On August 28, 1963, Dr. King prounounced "I HAVE A DREAM" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.  On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama will become the fulfillment of that dream on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.  Martin paved the road for Barack.  Barack now stands on the shoulders of Martin.

`

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. KING!

WEIGHT OF THE WORLD

With the weight of the world squarely on his shoulders, with an entire nation holding its breath in anticipation of tomorrow's inauguration, and with the hopes and dreams of African-Americans both young and old preparing for a dream fulfilled, Barack Obama prepares for the final moments of his amazing journey from political obscurity to the next President of the United States.
