Obama's Victory speech was AMAZING....
It was basically the same stump speech themes he's been giving ever since 2004. It's no surprise that he's a great speaker. I think anyone would concede that. The problem is that the speech is essentially a set of glittering generalities that almost all the candidates would agree with. It has almost no substantive content. It simply uses indisputable themes and expresses them far more eloquently than George W. Bush. Obama has had 4 years to expand, flesh out, and multidimensionalize himself since his DNC speech. However, he's acted like someone who gave a great speech and won the lottery, and will just keep riding the wave of that lottery, terrified at any minute that it will break.
