Watching Michelle Obama's fantastic interview with Larry King tonight, I was struck by her intelligence, sincerity and her unwillingness to sink to the awful, despicable level of Sarah Palin and John McCain.
No thinking person could fail to appreciate her performance, including her refusal to denounce Sarah Palin.
The contrast between the candidates is clear. The Republicans believe in gutter politics. The Obamas refuse to sink to that level. And that, my friends, is why they will be moving into the White House next January.
Obama is a gifted leader for the ages. I am so very sorry that so many Americans have been resisting his candidacy, because what he offers, and what his wife and his whole family offers, is to turn the page on the ugliest pages of our history and to move into a future that may offer hope for all of us.
Our country and its economy is collapsing before our eyes. We need a new spirit, a new pride.
See? I am an idealist, even now, after all of this.
