"Every single thing that we care about is at stake in the next election. The very core of what this country stands for is on the line."
That's Barack Obama speaking at a fundraiser yesterday in New York City. In an ordinary election, this would sound like comic hyperbole.
But Barack Obama is not a typical politician and his dedication to utterly remake America is something we have never seen. Not from Carter. Not from Clinton. Not even from FDR.
And so I've finally found a statement from Barack Obama I can agree with. -- "Every single thing that we care about is at stake in the next election. The very core of what this country stands for is on the line."
