This is supposed to be books on the bus, or so says the mission statement in my brain. But it is important, I think, for this country we love -- if it is to remain the country we love and not some grotesque mutation -- that we do not allow another 4 years of a Republican presidency.
So I'm going to digress from the mission once in a while.
Michelle Obama just addressed the Democratic Convention. And now this has to be said, and I hope it will be said by those with greater audiences than I have: If you persist in hesitating about Obama on the grounds he is "not like us" or that he is in any way apart from what it means to be American, then all you can possibly mean by that is that Obama is black. And that makes you a racist. You are not a racist, are you? You don't possibly believe that "elitist" crap, that "not sharing our values" garbage being spewed by the odious slime that run Republican campaigns.
Find the speech if you haven't heard it. It is important. It is vital. There can't be hesitation; we must eliminate its causes.
