Barack Obama: “The real test of change, ultimately, is whether it makes a difference in the lives of the American people.”

That was fantastic. I was a little tall for it.

Your task is not to impose litmus tests.

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.

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.
