Happy Birthday President Clinton & Tipper Gore

@ 12:33 PM (94 months, 11 days ago)

Today two great human beings celebrate their birthday: President Bill Clinton, and Mrs. Tipper Gore.

Nine years ago, on August 19, 1996, these incredible public servants celebrated their birthdays by helping rebuild an African-American church in Tennessee that had been burned.

We had a President willing to tackle the issue of race, and start a national conversation about race relations in this country.  Where is that kind of leadership in today's White House?
