Hillary’s Voice

The Obamabots I mean. The Hillary haters.

I wish I had a full transcript of Hillary’s victory speech tonight. It was wonderful. Pure Hillary: smart, down to earth, classy.

The most moving part of the speech was when — and I wish I had the transcript — she talked about how this Presidential race is a landmark in the two-century-long project of moving America forward. She said that when the Founding Fathers met in Philadelphia 200 years ago, “neither I nor Senator Obama nor many of you” were part of their dream. But through the efforts of so many over so many years — the abolitionists, the suffragists, the progressives, the civil rights heroes, etc., the American dream has expanded. Because of them, she said, she grew up taking for granted that women could vote. Because of them, Chelsea grew up taking for granted that children of all races could attend the same schools.

And now, she said, “because of you,” today’s children will grow up taking for granted that either a woman or an African-American can be President of the United States.

The crowd went over the moon. I actually blubbed.

I don’t know what kind of cognitive dissonance is required to watch this woman and hate her. It is beyond my understanding.
