Credit Where Credit is Due

If you've read this blog at all you know I have huge problems with President Obama.  He has not, in my view, been a very good President.  He has made huge mistakes.  He has repeatedly done things to divide us.  He has done considerable damage to the economy, caused poverty to widen, and led so many to dependence on the government.  His work in foreign policy has been a disaster that will take years to recover from.

Having said that, I was moved to tears by his eulogy this afternoon of Reverend Clement Pinckney was eloquent.  He got a bit political because he can't help himself, but he struck all the right chords.  It is exactly the kind of message I would expect a President to deliver.  And it is exactly the right kind of message to send to the black community in this country.  Uplifting.  Optimistic.  Promising.   Put aside what you're doing for 30 minutes and watch.
