Obama—’Call to Renewal’ Keynote Address
I just came across this speech courtesy of Digg. You can read the speech here or watch the embedded video.
This really resonated with me. I myself feel the last 8 years (or so) of the prevailing government’s attempt to integrate a strand of religion very disenfranchising; in an inherently diverse population like America, made up of cultures from all over the world, we need to be more willing to listen and accept and less eager to dictate and exclude.
Obama’s words were related as a prayer: “A hope that we can live with one another in a way that reconciles the beliefs of each with the good of all”. Obvious, yet (in the light of what I feel has been going on in America) profound.
Got something to say? Bring it on!
