Some people are not going to like my observation that Barack Obama is clearly both very white and very black. Look at his bone structure and facial features and you can see both roots. Listen to his diction. He is not "just" black. He stands firmly with one foot in each culture as well as his genes. Much of his childhood was in Indonesia and Hawaii. I believe this diversity is what makes him so compassionate and broadens his appeal to anyone with a heart.

It was so good to see and hear from Michelle and Barack again. Michelle’s speech was by far the most dynamic and inspiring speech I’ve seen in the last 10 years. My eyes were glued to my tv screen as she commanded the attention of that entire auditorium. She shared from a very real and deep place and she left me speechless and lost in thought. But I also felt this igniting motivation and determination to help Kamala/Walz win in November. I am thankful for their incredible reminder that we must remain vigilant and unified in the upholding the dignity of democracy.

The amazing thing is that they never learn the lesson, even while witnessing their friends and fellow Americans being devoured.
