Barack Obama: “That when we come together as a country, there's no reason why we can't restore that basic American promise, that if you…”

We don’t have any folks who grill here?

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.

In forming our union, the founders fell terribly short of the Declaration's promise, leaving slavery intact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who owned property.

And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.
