To This I Can Only Add...
...finally, the real American Dream come alive.
What I am referring to is this statement by Hillary yesterday in Winston-Salem, NC. Because of the current campaign she said, America is...
letting go of not only the heavy burden of ignorance, but of prejudice and discrimination, sexism as well as racism.Of course, that American Dream costs a lot of money. Which may remain the biggest obstacle for most people. (Elitist? Nah.)
What is exciting — and for me humbling — is that this contest that I'm engaged in with Senator Obama exemplifies that. And because of what we are doing, I honestly believe we have broken one of those invisible barriers that never again will any little boy or girl in America not believe that he or she — black, white, brown, whatever — cannot grow up to be president. Because that is now over. We have created that possibility in this moment of time.
That, and of course, that no sane person should even want the job.
