"I'm a
New Yorker, and I know a con when I see one."
And
of course President Obama's speech was eloquent, and spot-on.
"Ronald Reagan called America 'a shining city
on a hill.' Donald Trump calls it 'a divided crime scene' that only he can fix.
It doesn't matter to him that illegal immigration and the crime rate are as low
as they've been in decades, because he's not offering any real solutions to
those issues. He's just offering slogans, and he's offering fear. He's betting
that if he scares enough people, he might score just enough votes to win this
election. That is another bet that Donald Trump will lose. Because he's selling
the American people short. We are not a fragile or frightful people. Our power
doesn't come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore
order." Click here to read the speech in full.
Listening
to and watching President Obama last night made me realize how much I'm going
to miss him when he leaves office. His steady hand and rational focus are qualities
mislaid long ago by those on the right side of the aisle.
