Since entering the spotlight, Barack Obama has said a lot of stupid, stupid things. Which makes it all the more remarkable when he says something that isn’t stupid. Like this:
Pres. Obama: Democracy demands getting inside "the reality of people who are different than us."
"You can't do it if you insist that those who aren't like you because they're white, or because they're male…that somehow they lack standing to speak on certain matters." pic.twitter.com/NHPR9cQmpQ

Wow, this rarefied air – one of the few times I agree with something Obama has to say.

He’s certainly got a lot to regret. While he was president, he sowed the seeds of divisiveness on a regular basis. “Punish our enemies,” “[clinging] to guns and religion,” and all that jazz.

Still, though, sometimes you’ve just gotta take what you can get.
This pleases me. It’s a few years late, but I’m glad he’s saying it. https://t.co/1LsRgE3kUE

Obama gonna get ratio'd.
Good message, though. Would have been more helpful 9 years ago, but better now than never. https://t.co/uHRA1wWgif
