. . . from a variety of things during the State of the Union address. The first time was when our President introduced Nancy Pelosi. I am proud of a country that acknowledges it's achievements and those who achieve. I am also proud of a country that has free elections. A fact that I acknowledge even when those elections elect people that I disagree with. I got chills when our President spoke of the American spirit that encourages us to help those who are less fortunate. I got chills when he introduced Dikembe Mutombo, a man who has experienced the magic of the US and shown people in his home country what that magic can do. And a man who has become a citizen. I also got chills when our President reminded us that what we do to protect ourselves is not always simple. It is not always clear and it always difficult.
