Barack Obama: “These past 10 years have shown America's resolve to defend its citizens and our way of life.”

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

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

The essence of Prop. 50 is to say that if you are going to play that game, then we are going to try to counteract that abuse of the system.

People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.
