We walked the MLK March here in San Antonio on Monday morning. Perfectly cool and clear. Well over 100,000 people - that's almost 10% of the population here.
Katie (11) got bored.
Nick (13) was bored.
Alex (17) got snarky.
Alex' girlfriend, Audrey (16), was polite.
Clem shot photos. Many, from the hip.
It's a singular moment in American History and I'm glad I dragged the kids to it and through it. Not the result I voted for but a result I salute nonetheless.
One more darkened door has been smashed open and one more group can see the real promise of this nation as their own. That's huge.
MLK predicted this moment, now it's up to Barry and Co. to deliver. We all lose if he fails. Terrorists and Recessions are equal-opportunity challenges.
Mr. Obama, we need your A game.
Is this a great country or what?
