President Clinton at Harvard

I saw this link on another blog this morning. It is a link to both the transcript and the video. The video is a real player video and the video is almost three hours long so you have to scan through it to about the 2/3rd mark to get to Clinton's speech. But watch the video.

Rarely have a seen a speech from a politician that is so hopeful, but hopeful with something more than hope for their own political destiny. I guess that is the great thing about retired politicians, at least they have the possibility of seeing past their own ego. Clinton spoke eloquently about the need to see the 99.99 percent of what is the same in one another. In God language that is seeing the Imageo Dei in one another. If we realize that the Imageo Dei is what is important about both ourselves and one another then we realize that what makes us individual is less important than what makes us similar. Oh, that we all could remember that it is the Imageo Dei, and more important the creator of the Imageo Dei that is worth celebrating.
