Not sure this is the best way to link to videos. I recognized Heather Cox Richardson on the stage with Obama but there was only 1 or 2 seconds before the video stopped.
Perhaps a link to the full presentation, if possible?
Or should every viewer of this post have to go to one of the shitty (google) search engines to find the full linke.
Sorry, Rhiannon - I didn't mean to be so negative. But just hearing Ari's pontifications was not the reason I clicked on this.
Love ya!
