Obama

I applaud President Obama this morning. As I listened to his budget-related speech yesterday, I heard the voice of humanist values, based in fairness and rationality. He addressed the economic inequity in the U.S. against the howling protest of those who would deny it in order to use it to their advantage. Bravo. It's about time. If you did not hear the entire speech, I recommend you listen to it here.
