For the speech tonight, we wait

  Waiting breathlessly for the big speech tonight, the world anxiously wants to know: what will The One say? 
  Will he be apolitical, as promised? 
  Will he take digs (little or big) at his "enemies"?
  Will he be the nation's consoler in chief in these partisan times?
  Will political opportunism come into play, like so many of his party?
  Or will he have his minions do it for him?
  Will he be biblical? emotional?
  Will he take advantage of the "fresh start" the speech may give him?
  Will his speech have "great political impact"?
  Will it set the tone for the 2012 campaign?
  Will the memorial be a reenactment of the horrendous Wellstone Memorial?
  Will he "bring us together"? Or will "us" be only his followers and not the rest of the country?
  Or has The One read the latest polls and observed that public sentiment is not with the whole "talk radio made him do it" meme?
  We wait, breathlessly, popcorn and hankies in hand.
