OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!
"We can be better."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THIS MAN
erm. That is to say, nobody--not one other speech I've ever heard or seen--has ever. Ever. Ever. inspired me this much.
I don't want to debate fine points of his plan, his strategy, his delivery. I don't even really want to discuss the speech. I just want to celebrate this cracking-open of my cynical political self, exposing the gooey nougat center of hope.
We can be something other than two angry, sullen half-countries smushed against each other, making snide remarks in bumper-sticker soundbites. We can be listening to our differences, rather than tossing them aside as automatically evil or stupid.
We can be better than we have been.
Yes we can.
