desperance“For many Americans, the news of Ray Bradbury's death immediately brought to mind images from his work, imprinted in our minds, often from a young age. His gift for storytelling reshaped our culture and expanded our world. But Ray also understood that our imaginations could be used as a tool for better understanding, a vehicle for change, and an expression of our most cherished values. There is no doubt that Ray will continue to inspire many more generations with his writing, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.” - Barack Obama
The first note is a little sour, perhaps - it's not just true of Americans; I don't think it's anything to do with being American - but this is an election year, so of course he's going to thump a patriotic drum if he can find one within reach. That apart, I think this is unexceptionable, and entirely appropriate, and actually delightful. I'm still touched, that there should be an unashamed geek in the White House. I hope you voting types can keep him there.
