perfectly imperfect.....................

      America is great because the people who came before us and built this country were imperfect.  And they knew it.  Their obvious imperfections gave them humility. That is why they envisioned a country where no single imperfect person—or small group of imperfect people—would have all the power.  Instead, all of us—imperfect as we are—would come together and work on problems together and figure things out together.  While each and every one of us is imperfect, the final result of that democratic, constitutional process would achieve the most perfect solutions possible.
