via Andrew Sullivan:
I love this country not because it's perfect, but because we've always
been able to move it closer to perfection. Because through revolution
and slavery; war and depression; great battles for civil rights and
women's rights and worker's rights, generations of Americans have shown
their love of country by struggling and sacrificing and risking their
lives to bring us that much closer to our founding promise. And as long
as I live, I will never forget that I am only standing here because
they did... That is the country I love. That is the promise of America. (Obama)
