it’s hard for me to imagine anyone, regardless of political affiliation, disagreeing with obama…
“You know, just this past week I stopped by an eighth-grade graduation for a young woman’s charter school, wonderful school. And here was all the pomp and all the circumstance and parents were all bringing flowers. And I thought to myself, well this is nice that we’re celebrating. But you know what — this is just the eighth grade.
You know, when I see sometimes these eighth-grade graduations, i want to remind people, now hold on a second — this is just eighth-grade. So let’s not go over the top. Let’s not have a huge party. Let’s just give them a handshake and tell them, ‘Ok, now you’re going to ninth grade, and then 10th grade, then you’re going to graduate, then your going to college, maybe you’ll get a PhD, maybe you’ll get a law degree, maybe you’ll get a medical degree.’
It’s just eighth grade. Don’t get carried away with that eighth-grade graduation. You’re supposed to graduate from the eighth grade.”
full video of this amazing speech can be found here.
also, the news came out today that gore is finally endorsing obama. there will be a rally tonight in detroit, broadcast live at 8:30pm on barackobama.com. obama & gore vs. the republicans… we’ll soon be referring to senator obama as president obama.
i’ll be watching, will you?
