Obama speech to UK Parliament during state visit in 2011

I have just been watching President Obama's speech to the joint Houses of Parliament during his state visit in 2011 and have been struck by the wise introductory words of The Speaker John Bercow: “It is my honour Mr President to welcome you as our friend and as a statesman. Statesmanship is the cement which seals our shared idealism as nations. It makes meaningful the unity of ambition, passion for freedom and abhorrence of injustice that is the core of our close alliance. It has fallen to you to tackle economic turbulence at home, to protect the health of those without wealth and to seek that precious balance between security which is too often threatened and human rights which are too often denied. History is not the burden of any one man or woman alone, but some are called to meet a special share of its challenges. It is a duty that you discharge with a dignity, determination and distinction that is widely admired. Abraham Lincoln once observed that nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character give him power…”. Obama goes on to give a characteristically golden speech which is somehow even more relevant today than it was in 2011 and is a sharp reminder of more normal times. One wonders how President Trump might be introduced if he is ever asked to make a comparable speech as part of a future state visit.
