The sign that had one word; 'Dignity'.

Tears in my eyes, for Obama's eloquence and sincerity but also the stunning dignity vacuum that the office of President has become.

What a terrific speech. Very few people are gifted with the ability to craft such an effective message and deliver it so well.

It makes it so much harder to see us go from the best to the worst because of one election.
