After Democratic Wins at Supreme Court, Martin OMalley Celebrates Tremendous Week With IowansAMES, IowaFormer Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley spoke at a casual backyard house party here Sunday evening, celebrating with Iowans a tremendous week that saw Democrats win big in the Supreme Court.
What a tremendous week we had, said OMalley, who is a Democratic candidate for president in 2016. If you ever doubt whether or not our countrys headed to a more compassionate, more generous, and more loving place, this was a good week to see that in the United States of America.
Theres hope for our country, OMalley said, before prompting the crowd to turn to a neighbor and tell them the same message.
It was one of the most inspiring things just to see the transcendent goodness of all of the people that rose out of that horrible racist massacre, OMalley said. And just to see the love and the generosity and the coming together of people in South Carolina.
He continued, We are a good people. And President Obama certainly tapped into that in his eulogy there.
