I love my president. He surely does cut a sharp figure up there

What a fantastic speaker. Just imagining for a moment some duffus like Newty up there makes me want to gag

Seeing Gabby look so good made me cry

Hmmm, I thought the sourpuss Supremes weren't attending any more. What's up with that?

Oh Cantor looks constipated. The poor dear.
