is that, first, he talk about things I thought he wanted to express since maybe years, surch as his powerfull remarks of money which corrupts politics. I could just bow at him completly. I hope one day campaings would be less found b y privates groups than public financial, such as how is it here in France.

On the more personal parts, the fact that got me is that he didnt only became emotional recalling Kennedy broters, he also was moved in his recalls of 1971 protest, especially speaking about Nixon trying to kick out the vets from the Mall. It echoes in me. He maybe remembered the harassment he faced afterwards by US god vernment. Having being myself , as a part of an activist group, under Sarkozys tenure, arrested on false accusation and even put before a judge ( it was a plot made on purpouse to make some of us shut up about social issues, like false unemployement rate numbers, homelessness and unconstitutionnaly disrespect of housing right and more) I just can imagine how it would had been hard to feel betrayed, misunderstood, and willingly unheard when you just wants to move the contry for the better and speakk out the truth.
