They Spoke To Us

On Tuesday, June 3, 2008, Barack Obama gave this speech http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/06/03/text_of_obamas_speech_tuesday?rss_id=Boston.com+--+Latest+news

And on Saturday, June 7, 2008, Hillary Clinton gave this speech http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2004456017_apclintontext.html?syndication=rss

I know I haven't been looking at the political field for very long, but I have done my best to look back at it, and I can't recall a more gracious acceptance speech or a more sincere concession speech. I think that the words of the candidates, if listened to, will mend the tears in the Democratic Party and that that party will lead the reunion of the country.

For as long as I can remember, the most vocal members of the new ruling class have done what they can to divide us to make sure that they maintain power. The differences between Republicans and Democrats, Libertarians and Socialists, Conservatives and Liberals, are so small in the grand scheme of world government that we should not lose sight of the goal of this country: to allow people to work and worship and live and love.

If more people get into office like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, then this country can only become better.
