The next best thing would be for President Obama¹ to deliver a major speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. (As best I can tell from Googling, he has not so far given a speech from that venu. Given the obvious comparison to Martin Luther King, I expect that if he had, it would be easily Googleable. But I can't claim to be sure.)



¹ President Obama. Damn I like that phrase. The Presidents in my adult life have been a senile fool, a time-serving party apparatchik, a man of immense talent who squandered his opportunity for greatness, and a juvenile delinquent megalomaniac; I generally called them Reagan, Bush, Bill, and Shrub. But now, finally, I will have a President it feels natural to call by his title.
