22. Obama's innauguration was perhaps the most proud

Sep 2015

I have been of this country in my lifetime. I remember thinking 'that's my president' in a way I never had before. I imagine I would've felt that for FDR had I been around, or for Johnson if not for the Vietnam War. But the fact we could actually elect an intellectual, thoughtful president for a change, and be so inspirational across racial lines, imbued me with so much of his hope.

Sadly, I don't expect to have that experience again, because I've not another lifetime to live.
