dichroic | at least he ended it well (Reply)

When Mitt Romney is good, he’s very, very good (MA healthcare, SLC Olympics), but in this campaign, he’s mostly been horrid. In the very last moment, though, he showed a flicker of the good Romney, and it’s worth quoting here for truth:

The nation, as you know, is at a critical point. At a time like this, we can’t risk partisan bickering and political posturing. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people’s work. And we citizens also have to rise to the occasion. We look to our teachers and professors. We count on you not just to teach, but to inspire our children with a passion for learning and discovery.

We look to our pastors and priests and rabbis and counselors of all kinds to testify of the enduring principles upon which our society is built — honesty, charity, integrity and family. We look to our parents, for in the final analysis, everything depends on the success of our homes. We look to job creators of all kinds. We’re counting on you to invest, to hire, to step forward. And we look to Democrats and Republicans in government at all levels to put the people before the politics.

I believe in America. I believe in the people of America.

I hope he and his party will live up to those words; I hope that my faith in the Democratic party doing so is justified.
