I have never been more proud of the United States than I am this year. We have elected an African-American president. We have the stellar Michelle Obama setting the standard for American women. I simply cannot say it enough: look how far we've come.
Princeton is quite integrated. Women are professors at Princeton. Women are students at Princeton. That began in the 1970s.
I believe that in time we will have reached the point where we will deserve to be free of government.
