from amazing scientists, doctors and therapists. We must give those who did the hard work their due.
And don't forget those who kept her alive at the scene of that horrific attack.

Yeah, when there are 7 billion "miracles walking around the word pretty much losses it's value. I don't believe in magic anyway.

Yes, medicine is wonderful, but the patient has a lot of grit, determination, and dare I say it... spirit.

It was such a touching moment that it made this grown man cry.

Go Gabby! I hope that you achieve all of your goals in your recovery.

Thanks President Obama for reminding me why I'm voting for you again. I don't recall any other president being so sincere, compassionate and caring. The contrast among President Obama and the Republican candidates makes the choice obvious.

President Obama looked so pleased to see her and to talk with her. He could have just moved along to give the speech, but instead he set the schedule--much to the anxiety of the media that were watching the clock.

I just saw on TV where the president congratulated Panetta for rescuing the two hostages from Somalia.

I think that the president hit a home run last night.
