Lately I've been watching the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. I see such a contrast with the disaster last week in Cleveland. The people there reminded me of an old Jonathan Winters skit in which he interviews a republican who was visited by a space alien. He was asked what the alien said? He said "take me to your leader"' And did you take him to your leader? "Nope. Didn't know who my leader was." At the convention, it was obvious that neither the audience or the speakers knew who their leader was.
Not so in Pennsylvania. Every one is aware who the leader is and that they are there to select and elect a replacement for after his retirement. Retirement, but not departure. He will always be available for his knowledge and ability whenever needed in the future. History will soon forget Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan and even Donald Trump but the books will always remember Barak Obama as the greatest president who brought us healthcare and prosperity against great opposition and obstinance from the opposing party. Hillary Clinton has some big shoes to fill. I have no doubt she will mold her own history as a strong President and intelligent people will never see her as just a woman. The first woman following the first black man. Our nation and people have finally progressed to where our founders envisioned.
