I agree Marc, except a little from Obama it has been decades since any national politician expressed a vision to make America a truly better country that lived up to its ideals for all. All you hear, election after election, are promises to hold on to what people have. (Or in the case of Trump, a "return" to a vague and mythical past.)

But maybe elected people have to be pushed to stand up and develop such a vision. Years ago I moved to a Congressional district with a liberal, popular and supposedly forward thinking Representative. I called his office and asked for a sheet on his core beliefs and values, and what he stood for. "We don't have that," his aide told me. "Nobody ever asked for such a thing before."
