Several good parts in this speech. The one on civility pertains to this website more than anything else, but in truth, I think that the aspect of communicating your beliefs, if coupled with an effective and persuasive argument is likely the best parts.

Never hurts to be reminded. Obama is gently doing the same with his activism speeches. He is modeling civility and encouraging determination without violence. Both sides need to clean out their ears.
