Obama Provides a Glimpse into a Post-Presidency Moral Leadership

President Obama was powerful today speaking on the Mall at the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. For the first time I realized that the sadness of the Obama Presidency, brought on by an intransigent congress will soon unfold into a powerful Post-Presidency with Barack Obama.  Endowed with the portfolio of a two-term presidency and the freedom to speak and to lead people - not self aggrandizing politicians, President Obama will be unleashed to exercise the moral leadership that has been denied him by a broken political system. Those expecting him to talk about current legislation will be disappointed with what he said today but for those who see the moral arc of the universe more broadly they will be fired up, knowing that he - and we - have much more to do. Unless I miss my guess, this was his opening salvo and he is ready.
