I know its hard on America. And in some small corner of this vast country in Nevada or Idaho, these places I've never been but always wanted to go, there's a guy getting on with his life, perfectly happily, minding his own business, saying to you the political leaders of this nation: why me? Why us? Why America? And the only answer is: because destiny put you in this place in history, in this moment in time and the task is yours to do.
And when you say this, to practically every American, he will nod and roll up his sleeves.
Here it is! I was pinged to it yesterday evening! Sorry for the confusion...plus I see Blair isn't in the title! Jeesh!
I also love the last paragraphs of this speech.
