Will America choose "Higher Ground" in November? [View all]

Michelle and President Obama and an A-list of musical performers used the opening of the Obama Presidential Center to show us how things used to be and could be again. And Stevie topped it off with his great song "Higher Ground". It was classy, optimistic and rational, as well as being inspirational. When was the last time we experienced such things? What an absolute contrast with today's administration and message of greed, self-aggrandizement, and hatred.

We've been shown the way forward. Will we remain unified and take it? I'm not a super religious person, but I will pray for this and work for it too. One thing today's ceremony showed me is that the spirit is still there if we choose to embrace it.
