Caroline Kennedy in today’s New York Times:
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father
inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man
who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation
of Americans.
I remember her father’s inspiration – I saw its effect on my own father. Caroline and I are about the same age: I’ve never really felt it. Her father did this as president, what’s so amazing about Obama is that he is doing this – I hear it all over the world – as a candidate.

The speech he gave last night was the best I’ve heard in years. I put only Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement speech above it; but clearly a different context and only because Jobs’s story is so ridiculously amazing.
