July 2008: Berlin, Germany -Before a crowd of 200,000 people,
Barack Obama takes the world stage.
This is a picture from a DailyKos diary from when Obama was abroad. A parent was cooking dinner, when he heard silence from the other room with his children.
When he went to investigate, this is what he found:
The older child was instructing the younger one to
‘ be quiet because Obama was about to speak’.
That's what my parents used to tell me when Kennedy was president. I know the Kennedy comparison has been flayed to the bones, but it's not about Kennedy. It's about respecting and honoring our elected officials...something sorely undeserved and absent for decades. Who since have we hushed to hear speak, to hear their ideas, their plans? That's what leaders command.
And yeah, out of the mouths of babes.
