Seems the general consensus. Surely Maya Angelou would have been a better choice? Even if of a different (and much older) generation, and Clinton's fave; the choice of poet & poem should still be made on merit within the cadences of the American voice. My opinion, anyway. 'Pon reflection I'd rate Barry's speech in the eight-point-nines. Pretty damn good actually.
