“You know what I needed to do before I could decide to support Barack Obama for president? I had to give myself permission to feel hope. That’s almost kind of sad, isn’t it? I had to tell myself that it is OK. That it would be all right if I allowed myself to acknowledge the possibility that we can aspire as a nation. That we can aspire to be more than merely secure or predominant. That we could apsire to build and to heal not just to patch and prop up. We can aspire to come together not just come to terms.”
