What would Thomas Jefferson have said?
Today I took the time to watch Pres. Obama's eulogy all the way through. It certainly will go down as one of the great American speeches.
On the other hand, it felt odd to have the Emperor lecturing us on theology of Grace. If he had been talking about the evils of icons, just at the time when a caliphate is being established, we might have to wonder if we were on our way back to the 7th century.
