Here's part of the speech of Obama.
“So I just want to talk a little about Moses and Aaron and Joshua, because we are in the presence today of a lot of Mosses’. We're in the
presence today of giants whose shoulders we stand on, people who battled, not just on behalf of African Americans but on behalf of all of America;
that battled for America’s soul, that shed blood , that endured taunts and formant and in some cases gave -- torment and in some cases gave the full
measure of their devotion.
Like Moses, they challenged Pharaoh, the princes, powers who said that some are atop and others are at the bottom, and that's how it's always going
to be.
I’m here because somebody marched. I’m here because you all sacrificed for me. I stand on the shoulders of giants. I thank the Moses generation;
but we've got to remember, now, that Joshua still had a job to do. As great as Moses was, despite all that he did, leading a people out of bondage,
he didn't cross over the river to see the Promised Land. God told him your job is done. You'll see it. You'll be at the mountain top and you can
see what I’ve promised. What I’ve promised to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. You will see that I’ve fulfilled that promise but you won't go
there.’’
I’ve been wondering when his speech was going to be posted. Finally it has.
Ok its understanding that he’s comparing them selves to Moses whom came out of the land of Egypt for freedom.
However, Comparing himself to Joshua!
Nope that doesn’t make since. Joshua was the man who went to battle. So to me he’s saying the battle hasn’t begun yet and now is the time.
Now this is our generation it's time for BATTLE. I personally don’t think he is thinking very good there at all. He goes on for quite a while in
this. Here’s the link to his speech.
