I haven’t meant to focus so much on U.S. election politics in the past few days. In a way, these entries are the more naive part of myself warring with the cynic; do I believe in the presidency, or don’t I? Do I believe in politics, or don’t I? The answer to both of those questions have been, “No, I really don’t.” So why do I care?
It’s not just that Barack Obama has inspired me — though he is a damn good speaker, and he has, in fact, inspired me a bit.
It’s also a lot to do with Michelle Obama. So I’m going to link this speech (broken up into seven parts), in which Michelle Obama speaks a lot of truth, and then move on to other topics that are less entwined with the Democratic primary.
