I read Obama’s speech at the memorial in Tucson today, and it brought tears to my eyes. It was a moving and powerful tribute.
And while I appreciate Obama taking the high road, I still think Sarah Palin is a monster and a terrible human being.

I just watched it and cried through it. What an amazing speaker he is. Our PM should take notice.

Ooh, awesome. Thanks for that. Obama’s words point to our better natures, the part I wish I could live up to better. Palin’s represent the mean, petty, divisive trap it’s all too easy to fall into.
