Barack Obama + America and like all such good reciprocal relationships it gets its strength from honesty, which is, as PO, pointed out in this speech, justification for authentic hope that is grounded in reality.

It is not foolish optimism or blind faith - it is knowing what the reality is and gearing up to meet it.
