Obama Addresses Parliament

So how was the speech?  One British critic opines: 

"... a series of orotund banalities, of the sort which can be heard at every tedious Anglo-American conference: 'Profound challenges stretch out before us ... the time for our leadership is now ... Our alliance will remain indispensable.'"  

Basically?  That's code for "yadda yadda yadda."  Ouch.  Well, I've gotten used to such glittery hollow nonsenses.  I prefer a real speech by a real statesman, thanks.
