Because it feeds into the cynicism we all have about government. When Washington doesn’t work, all its promises seem empty. If your hopes have been dashed again and again, then it’s best to stop hoping, and settle for what you already know. </p> <p>I get it. I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. I don’t fit the typical pedigree, and I haven’t spent my career in the halls of Washington. </p> <p>But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring.

He talked about “The world as it is” and “The world as it should be.” And he said that all too often, we accept the distance between the two, and settle for the world as it is - even when it doesn’t reflect our values and aspirations. But he reminded us that we know what our world should look like. We know what fairness and justice and opportunity look like. And he urged us to believe in ourselves - to find the strength within ourselves to strive for the world as it should be.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/25/michelle-obamas-democrati_n_121310.html">Michelle Obama</a></p> <p>(via <a href="http://bunnynico.tumblr.com/">bunnynico</a>) (via <a href="http://azspot.net/">azspot</a>) (via <a href="http://asprettyasasong.tumblr.com/">asprettyasasong</a>)</p></em>http://obama08.tumblr.com/post/47504778http://obama08.tumblr.com/post/47504778Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:28:02 -0700
