"Rocky strikes a universal chord. I was in college when the movie was first released in the '70s. Several of my fellow black friends were militants running around touting "Black Power" with raised fists. And yet they were crazy about the Italian Stallion, Rocky.
Rocky is universally loved because he tells us that no matter how much life beats you down, if you can find the strength to pick yourself back up, you are a winner. Rocky also tells us that certain things are worth fighting for -- risking losing for the dream of winning. Rocky epitomized the American Spirit.
And then, along came the Obama administration."
