Barak Obama’s Speech

I watched and listened Saturday as Barak Obama announced his candidacy for president of the United States.

There were so many great ideas and attitudes in his speech but the one that grabbed my attention and stuck with me was this one. “It was here, in Springfield, where North, South, East and West come together that I was reminded of the essential decency of the American people — where I came to believe that through this decency, we can build a more hopeful America.”

When was the last time you heard anyone talking about decency? It’s so nice to hear someone speak of decency in America. We are decent people and acting that way is long overdue.
