Isn’t Life Strange?

I’m not going to make comparisons about Presidential first-pitch performances, but the video below tells the story of President Bush’s 2001 Game 3 World Series first pitch.

After everything that has transpired since then, everything that has been said in the media, all the accusations made, all the politics and the spin, the moment speaks for itself.

The unity of the American people shortly after the terrible attacks of September 11 was something that seems unimaginable today. We’re so divided, bitter and angry.

To think that this Texas Republican who was utterly despised and ridiculed by the media and Hollywood, could be at the center of such a show of unity in New York City, seems like fantasy today.

If America is going to survive, we have got to find a common purpose, and stop trying to tear each other apart.
