I Think Miracles Exist In Part As

In A President, Character Is Everything. A President Doesn't Have To Be Brilliant... He Doesn't Have To Be Clever; You Can Hire Clever... You Can Hire Pragmatic, And You Can Buy And Bring In Policy Wonks. But You Cant Buy Courage And Decency, You Cant Rent A Strong Moral Sense. A President Must Bring Those Things With Him. He Needs To Have, In That Much Maligned Word, But A Good One Nonetheless, A Vision Of The Future He Wishes To Create.. But A Vision Is Worth Little If A President Doesn't Have The Character - The Courage And Heart - To See It Through.

What We Need Most Right Now, At This Moment, Is A Kind Of Patriotic Grace - A Grace That Takes The Long View, Apprehends The Moment We're In, Comes Up With Ways Of Dealing With It, And Eschews The Politically Cheap And Manipulative. That Admits Affection And Respect. That Encourages Them. That Acknowledges That The Small Things That Divide Us Are Not Worthy Of The Moment; That Agrees That The Things That Can Be Done To Ease The Stresses We Feel As A Nation Should Be Encouraged, While Those That Encourage Our Cohesion As A Nation Should Be Supported.

We Don't Need To 'control' Free Speech, We Need To Control Ourselves.

I Do Not Know What The Democratic Party Spent, In Toto, On The 2004 Election, But What They Seem To Have Gotten For It Is Barack Obama. Let Us Savor.

Most People Aren't Appreciated Enough, And The Bravest Things We Do In Our Lives Are Usually Known Only To Ourselves. No One Throws Ticker Tape On The Man Who Chose To Be Faithful To His Wife, On The Lawyer Who Didn't Take The Drug Money.
