Description: Democracy by soundbite is not democracy.

Transcript:

We’re getting democracy by sound bite, democracy by charm.  And the likelihood of great leaders emerging from this form of popular democracy is, I think, diminishing.  But we have a responsibility.  We can do something.  The people in the vast majority of the world with no input in the activities of their governments have a much harder, much harder role.  I think they have to focus on their own children, their own families . . . on focusing on their own lives, on improving their own lives, and are rejecting false promises of religious claims.
