President Obama spoke in Philadelphia. Viewing the video, his themes are familiar now from that first speech in Illinois but the interaction with the crowd is always new. This time I was impressed with the people behind him as well as in front of him: white people have learned call and response. At last!
"On November 6, you can restore some sanity to politics."
Though he mentions it, the issue that gets to the common heart is the destruction of children whose parents were desperately seeking protection, or a better life, but for whatever reason they arrived, the destruction of families and the destruction of children is a despicable act that needs to be repeatedly repudiated more often and more loudly.
Of course the latest despicable circus in Washington that threatens to destroy the Court and country may get louder than anything.
That's two "despicables" in one post. So time to sign off--
