Obama's speech seemed to apply more to Charlton than to America:
"I stand here today humbled by the task before us...that we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood...today I say to you that the challenges we face are real...we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas. We understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted."
"Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - honesty and hard work, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths."
Maybe he could give the half time team talk via videolink?
