"Today, President Barack Hussein Obama became the first ever American President to address the British Parliament at the 900-year old Westminster Hall.

Since WWII, only three other foreign national heads have addressed the British Parliament - President Charles de Gaulle, President Nelson Mandela and Pope Benedict and President Obama joins that elite rank."

The 35-minute speech can be watched here.

He touched upon all the present day issues in a brilliantly eloquent manner.

As the Lady Speaker of the Lords, Baroness Hayman, said, “He reminded us again of the poetry of government.”

Watch it.

The full text of the speech is here (h/t to grannyhelen).

A root canal would be funner then a 35 minute Obama speech. His talks are not much substance.
