Hyperbole

Last night in St. Paul, Minnesota, Barack Obama basically gave his "acceptance" speech for the Democratic nomination for president. Near the end of the speech you can find this quote:

I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal...

When does Obama feed the entire nation with only loaves and fish? Just thought I'd ask.
