Barack Obama stepped in front of the cameras this week, days before America turns 250, and said there is a profound, deep flaw in these Founding Fathers.He said it while standing on everything they built.Picture it for a second.The right to vote. The Bill of Rights. The Thirteenth Amendment. Separation of powers. The amendment process itself. Every rung he climbed to reach that height was carved by the very men he came to scold.Here is the part the critics keep missing. The founders never claimed to be perfect. They built a system that assumed they were not.They gave us a Constitution that could be amended. They handed down a process to fix what they could not fix in their own lifetimes. That was not a flaw. That was the genius.Slavery was a sin, and it ended more than 160 years ago at the cost of hundreds of thousands of American lives. Not one person breathing today lived through it. And slavery was never a uniquely American invention. It existed in nearly every corner of the world in 1776. What set America apart was not that we had it. It was that we built the tools to end it, and then we used them.The Thirteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth. The Fifteenth. The Nineteenth. Every expansion of freedom flowed straight out of the framework those flawed men left us.Yes, every man is flawed. The ones who wrote the Constitution. And the ones who stand on top of it today, pointing down. That is the human condition, and the founders understood it better than we do.So here is what we celebrate this Fourth of July. Not a perfect founding. A perfectible one.The framework worked. It is still working. And it belongs to all of us now.Happy 250th, America. The experiment is alive and well.
