In today’s speech [1], Barack Obama extolled the virtues of Abraham Lincoln, mentioning Charles Darwin along the way. It’s a terrific speech articulating the balance between individual liberties and the common good. A key quote: What if we were “consumed with small things–petty things–when were were called upon to do great things.”
To hear an American President actually mentioning the work of Charles Darwin in a good light, listen in starting about the 6-minute mark.
