Oh, liberal rhetoric

In his "Okay, I finally have the democratic party nomination" speech, Obama gives lots of credit to Hillary for lots of things, even saying that, "When we transform our energy policy and lift our children out of poverty, it will be because she worked to help make it happen." Mr. Obama, sir, maybe we'll manage to transform the energy policy, but all our children will never be lifted out of poverty. You know that.

Is this me being too literal?

The United States will never be a country without poverty. Capitalism doesn't work like that. As far as I can tell, human beings don't work like that.

But his speech still made me cry and hope really hard for the things I think he might actually be able to accomplish.
