Agency

From Webster's dictionary:

Definition of agency

1a : the office or function of an agent

b : the relationship between a principal and that person's agent

2 : the capacity, condition, or state of acting or of exerting power : OPERATION

3 : a person or thing through which power is exerted or an end is achieved : INSTRUMENTALITY


From Obama's dictionary: Yes. We. Can.

We are Americans above all. We lead our leaders. They do not lead us except by our consent. If they do not have our consent, we lead.

We know our collective moral imperative. Our leaders never define that for us.

We are agents of our future.

If it ain't rainin', we ain't trainin'!



If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
