Yes.
President Obama was wonderful, saying things unheard from power for years.
Things like....
>To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.And Pastor Lowry (if I have his name right) gave a truly remarkable and moving Benediction.
We were all in tears by the end.
Without doubt, the greatest day since the end of WWII.
