Obama is on the final stretch:

These words and these stories tell us something about the spirit of
the people who sent us here.  They tell us that even in the most trying
times, amid the most difficult circumstances, there is a generosity, a
resilience, a decency, and a determination that perseveres; a
willingness to take responsibility for our future and for posterity.

Their resolve must be our inspiration.  Their concerns must be our
cause.  And we must show them and all our people that we are equal to
the task before us.

I know that we haven’t agreed on every issue thus far, and there are
surely times in the future when we will part ways.  But I also know
that every American who is sitting here tonight loves this country and
wants it to succeed.  That must be the starting point for every debate
we have in the coming months, and where we return after those debates
are done.  That is the foundation on which the American people expect
us to build common ground.

And if we do – if we come together and lift this nation from the
depths of this crisis; if we put our people back to work and restart
the engine of our prosperity; if we confront without fear the
challenges of our time and summon that enduring spirit of an America
that does not quit, then someday years from now our children can tell
their children that this was the time when we performed, in the words
that are carved into this very chamber, “something worthy to be
remembered.”  Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United
States of America.

The speech lasted 50 minutes and he was interrupted by applause 53 times (pundits count these things).
