I thought President Bush did great today, a very clear and thoughtful speech that didn't gloss over the mistakes we made as a Nation prior to Brown-v-Board, the speech also emphasized how far we have come since then, and how we must continue to work very hard on the tasks that lies ahead.
You know, Mike - when I read the President's speech on the White House webpage, I was torn, trying to find one or two sentences that "captured" what he said today.
He said so much, and was so honest about our history, how much there was to be done after Brown v Board - and how thre are things yet to be done today. I don't think I've ever heard another President speak as candidly about the bias in our Country and how there are vestiges of it, still.
Bravo Zulu, President Bush.
BTW, thanks for doing the Dose over the weekend. I thought with the Peace Officers ceremony, and knowing your brother is somewhere overseas, that you'd do one and I was glad to see that you did one. I just didn't see it until I was making sure about what pictures might have been posted over the weekend.
Wasn't the President fantastic, meeting with the families of Officers who have been lost in the line of duty? His expression in come of the pictues just touched my heart.
He truly is our Compassionate, Caring President.
And Kerry's speech was that we need more money for education. How inspiring, uplifting, NOT
