Obama: "we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist";
"reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals"; "put off
childish things"; "to the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on
mutual interest and mutual respect"; GW quote at end, "crossing icy currents
. . . endure what storms may come"

Images: tears, especially mine and those on the faces of African Americans;
Aretha's hat; throngs of one people

Thanks, Jim

The essence of ultimate decision remains impenetrable to the observer -
often, indeed, to the decider himself (...) There will always be the dark
and tangled stretches in the decision-making process - mysterious even to
those who may be intimately involved.   John F. Kennedy
