On the February 27 edition of Inside Washington, NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg was giddy over Barack Obama's first speech before a joint session of Congress: “It made me feel pretty good. I thought it was a great speech....You know, a friend of mine said, ‘Oh, my God, we have a President again!’ Now, in some ways, that’s not fair to Bush, but that’s the way you felt. You felt this was a guy who was totally in charge.”
