For the last several months, after I decided that Obama seemed to me a clearly better choice than all the other options, I gave myself permission to pay not so much attention to politics... I had other things to worry about. In the process I started to forget what had made me so excited about Obama in the first place. Now, I'm not going to argue

I know there are differences on same-sex marriage, but surely we can agree that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters deserve to visit the person they love in a hospital and to live lives free of discrimination.

Very well, but you should not just pass on the fact that this was the selfsame speech where Mr. Hope defined marriage to be the union between a man and a woman. (minutelong applause)

Huh? I just rechecked the text of the speech, and I have no idea what you're referring to.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I must have confused it with this.
