Former President Barack Obama just delivered the knockout punch to Donald Trump in what I think may have been one of Obama's best speeches yet. He gave a speech at the opening of his presidential library. He began by talking about how this nation, on our 250th birthday, should always remember, no kings. Let's play this clip right here.
Barack Obama 2:50
A declaration that we are all created equal. endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that in the newly independent United States there will be no kings or lords, no serfs or subjects, but only citizens, each of us free to pursue our own version of happiness and able to determine our collective fate to an elected representative government. It had not been done.
Ben Meiselas 3:22
Powerful words indeed. Former President Obama then talked about how, with everything going on in the world, I'm not immune to anger or doubt, but I do know this, a powerful message that we should all be listening to. Let's play this clip.
Barack Obama 3:41
I get it. I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this. When we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters, that citizenship matters, that our collective voices matter, that how we treat each other no longer matters, then we give away our power to decide our own futures. We open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others and see government as nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils and punish enemies and keep those who are different in their place. I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end. I don't believe it because for us to give up, for us to give in now, after all this country's been through, to cynicism and division would be a betrayal of our founding ideas.
Barack Obama 5:12
A betrayal of our faith. And I remain convinced that the overwhelming majority of Americans feel the same way. That as unsettled as we are, people aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect. That deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.
