Quote:
John believed in honest argument and hearing other views. He understood that if we get in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work. That's why he was willing to buck his own party at times, occasionally work across the aisle on campaign-finance reform and immigration reform. That's why he championed a free and independent press as vital to our democratic debate. And the fact that it earned him some good coverage didn't hurt either.

John understood, as JFK understood, as Ronald Reagan understood, that part of what makes our country great is that our membership is based not on our bloodline, not on what we look like, what our last names are, it's not based on where our parents or grandparents came from, or how recently they arrived, but on adherence to a common creed: that all of us are created equal, endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. It has been mentioned today, and we've seen footage this week John pushing back against supporters who challenged my patriotism during the 2008 campaign. I was grateful, but I wasn't surprised. As Joe Lieberman said, that was John's instinct. I never saw John treat anyone differently because of their race or religion or gender. And I'm certain that in those moments that have been referred to during the campaign, he saw himself as defending America's character, not just mine. For he considered it the imperative of every citizen who loves this country to treat all people fairly.

What I appreciate about John was that he believed in napalming communists. I may have disagreed with him in his later years, but at least we have a shared belief on this issue.

The conservative intellectual department is working really hard online to convince itself of two things today:

1. Obama claiming any credit for today’s economy or saying ANYthing that can be construed as anti-Trump is offensive.

2. Kamala Harris is a far worse human being than Donald Trump, or anyone else for that matter.

I remember standing in a break room at work watching him get sworn in for the first time. There were a few people that literally got teary eyed.

Others may disagree, and I respect that, but I really liked that Obama video.
