President Obama’s speech at Notre Dame illustrates all the reasons why he was elected President by more Americans than any president in US history. He displayed the innate ability to dissect issues into their components allowing those with differing views to see that on most issues we all want the same results though having different paths to get there mostly based on our ideologies. It was obvious that his poise and intellectual honesty was able to diffuse what seemed like a failed orchestrated plan to disrupt his speech.
