Barack Obama: “Today we honor some of the best of these teachers and thank them for their dedication.”

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.

A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our constitution … a belief in the peaceful transfer of power

There’s no doubt that we are going through a period right now of disruption, polarization.

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.
