“And so, at 11:00 on a Tuesday, a prominent politician spoke to Americans as if they were adults.“

John Stewart, here.
That’s sort of my reaction. Wow. The speech was eminently reasonable, nuanced, and well thought out. Normally I hear politicians talk about sensitive topics and immediately think about how they are wrong or how I would defend them when somebody I disagree with says they are wrong. I didn’t feel lied to, manipulated, or talked down to. This is almost a first.
