This union may never be perfect... but it can always be perfected.

In case you're living under a rock, today Barack Obama gave a speech on race and politics that will surely go down as one of the greats. Mark my words, it will be in the history books someday

That was awesome. ♥

[thevelvetsun]

Yeah, pretty much. :)

[miss_westenra]

Fuck yeah Obama

p.s. do you still need a roomie for next year? Or know someone else who does?

[thevelvetsun]

Well I'll definitely be living with my current roomie Lindsey somewhere. We're considering getting a 3-4 person place, but we haven't decided, it might just be the two of us. I'll let you know if something comes up. :)

[miss_westenra]

Cool cool. If you need an extra roomie, let me know!

Thank you for the link and text, that was incredibly moving. I was crying five minutes in and didn't stop.

It was my pleasure. I think everyone in the country should listen to this speech.

[alwayseven]

I absolutely agree.

My mom sent me this and I totally kept tearing up. Aaagh, why is November so far away.

[thevelvetsun]

November, why is April 22nd so far away? I'm really hoping this will help his chances there.

Oh god, good point. They still haven't decided if they're going to let Michigan redo its faulty primary, but I've got my fingers crossed. And how appropriate that yours is on Earth day? I like that a bit, yes I do. :)

Nah, my caucus was back in February. April 22nd is Pennsylvania, where he gave his speech, and a state that Clinton thinks she's gonna win by a landslide. Y'know, the same way she won Texas even though Obama got more delegates.
