Thank you, Mr. President, for your emotional elegance at the Tucson Memorial Service. The families, the community, and the nation needed your compassion tonight, especially the challenge for all of us to live up to the hopes and expectations of our children. Congratulations for staying on-message about the tragedy and the many lives affected by one person's actions, rather than making this a political issue.
We don't have to become jaded and work so hard to blame "them" for our disappointment with ourselves. We can accept that sometimes things happen outside our narrow sphere of influence because there is evil in the world that is neither republican nor democrat.
We can continue to dare to dream that today will be more compassionate, rather than confrontational, more like last night's memorial service than the tirade of the Pima County Sheriff last Saturday.
