Yes, we can.

Wow. Not only did Barack deliver one hell of a speech in response to his pastor's hateful rhetoric, but apparently he wrote the whole damn thing himself. That just doesn't happen in politics anymore. At all. Not since Nixon in 1969, according to the Library of Congress. This was probably his most important speech in the campaign to date, and he didn't have someone write it, he didn't have someone help him write it, he didn't have a team of publicist scour it for damage control. He sat down and spent 2 days writing it himself.

There's something that would make me admire my President (and yes, I admire it in Nixon).
