President Obama’s Address to the Congressional Black Caucus

His speech writer is killing it. Is that still Jon Favreau ?
Cadence, people, cadence:

Even when folks are hitting you over the head, you can’t stop marching. Even when they’re turning the hoses on you, you can’t stop. Even when somebody fires you for speaking out, you can’t stop. Even when it looks like there’s no way, you find a way — you can’t stop. Through the mud and the muck and the driving rain, we don’t stop. Because we know the rightness of our cause — widening the circle of opportunity, standing up for everybody’s opportunities, increasing each other’s prosperity. We know our cause is just. It’s a righteous cause.

“Through the mud and the muck and the driving rain” that’s so fine a scribe.
