I just watched President Obama speak to the HBCU 2020 grads.

Hoo boy. Tonight is going to be emotional. He’s so full of hope and practical wisdom. He’s not naive but he’s not bitter. And yes, he took one swipe about nobody knowing what they’re doing in Spanky’s gang.

I swear we can make the world better. He believes it for those young black graduates. I think he believes it for many of us.
