This is what a statesman looks like...an relentless advocate for democracy and dignity for all people

On his best day, Mitt could never write words like these nor truly appreciate their meaning:

We believe that freedom and self-determination are not unique to one culture. These are not simply American values or Western values – they are universal values. And even as there will be huge challenges that come with a transition to democracy, I am convinced that ultimately government of the people, by the people and for the people is more likely to bring about the stability, prosperity, and individual opportunity that serve as a basis for peace in our world. - Barack Obama
