fromthe recent obama speach
And yet words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slaves from bondage, or provide men and women of every color and creed their full rights and obligations as citizens of the United States. What would be needed were Americans in successive generations who were willing to do their part – through protests and struggle, on the streets and in the courts, through a civil war and civil disobedience and always at great risk - to narrow that gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time.
Theres a lot politically that causes me to dissagree with Obama. This however is one statement I've struggled to succinctly make myself again and again.
I guess thats why he's running forpresidentandI'm not
