YAY! We both pretty much forced our 7 year old to watch the speech with us, saying, in 20 years, you will be able to tell your kids you saw the first black nominee for president of the USA speak!!! He was less than impressed, but apparently (at school) is a die-hard Obama fan who tells all the kids to vote for him - not too terribly GOOD, considering we live in the super-ultra-Republican-land. EEEK!<BR/><BR/>Ahhh, the beauty of a grass-roots movement that brought people out in record numbers to do the thing we "citizens" take for granted THE most of all our rights!!!! :DDeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593766471744418635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-17405216407246554832008-06-04T11:32:00.000-04:002008-06-04T11:32:00.000-04:00Oh, that video always makes me cry....

It will always stand out for me because of that. But this one, where I don't have to suppress the troubling inconsistency of being a feminist and choosing a guy who talks the liberal talk but can't respect his wife enough to keep it in his pants, this is different. I am, sadly, not at all sure that the inherent racism of our society won't defeat the better candidate, but I am going to be hopeful that for once, we will have a president we can be proud of. I am hoping I can hold my head up when next I see my European relatives, who have, for most of my political life, asked me, "So, what the hell is wrong with you all, electing an idiot like that?"elizasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450026334750091569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-85927129830438848032008-06-04T09:08:00.000-04:002008-06-04T09:08:00.000-04:00I totally agree (and my husband is the same way). ...I totally agree (and my husband is the same way).
