Just read the text of Obama’s speech in Tucson, and I take back everything snarky that I wrote in my prior post re references to prayer by politicians. Yes, I was thinking, when I wrote that earlier post, about Sarah Palin’s references to prayer, more than Obama’s, but I still take it all back. In the interests of not criticizing anybody (in the aftermath of Obama’s speech), I probably should just remove the post.
The text of Obama’s speech is incredibly moving; his references to scripture and prayer and life and death are poetic and beautiful and comforting and wise. Here’s hoping people hear him.
PS – Here’s the link to the video of the truly wonderful speech.
