That bit struck me too. He's a poet, your lovely Obama.
I actually printed the speech to save for my kids! I love that line too. You picture Obama inviting everyone to grab on to this rusty old pole and bend it into a rainbow. His speechwriter is fabulous.
My naive and liberal heart hopes so too.
Charlotte -- certainly his speech writer is a poet. But maybe that line came right from him? Hope so!
Sara -- I love your visual. That is exactly it.
Emily -- yay for the naive liberals!
