Beautiful, just beautiful.

1. Thank goodness! I thought nobody was listening!

That was a fine, realistic, complex speech. I hope people don't let the general malaise keep them from appreciating it.

9. They were both wonderful!

8. Same here - Tears of sadness and tears of joy, all at the same time.

And beyond proud of our amazing Democratic Presidents.

10. I loved the speech too...

John Lewis got me as well.

It would have been nice to have a thread on all the speakers, leading up to the Pres. But there's too much weighing down GD right now.

There was a time where we would have had to start 3 different threads, not so much anymore.

I was hoping for one day we could have enjoyed the remembrance.

11. Leadership, while showing respect to those who went before.....

12. Agreed it was beauriful...I have a little more hope...But Hate is hard to fight..

So many in this country preach hate. It's everywhere

[MoonRiver]

13. I believe that is the nature of human beings.

We will never be totally free of hate, intolerance and irrational violence. But my hope is that the slow trend toward love and tolerance will continue. I know it's very, very hard to see at times.
