It's excellent, inspiring.

Unfortunately, it won't make a dent in the entrenched racism of the Teabagger GOP.

thank W for coming.

sumpin in my eye

That speech has renewed my pride and my optimism. One of his best, IMO.

and there's that lump in my throat.

It's 4:05. Fox and CNN are covering the presidential visit. MSNBC is airing "Caught On Camera." WTF?
WTF?

walk over the bridge tomorrow afternoon. Apparently they do not think it is all that important. Is this part of their move to the center?

But the coverage tended to sound rushed and obligatory. M$NBC is morphing into the E! channel a little at a time.

had more Rs on as part of their panels than usual. I hate it. I do not need a former RNC chairman to tell me what the Rs think - I already know.

at having to cover the trials and celebrity news. I remember Keith always prefacing his disliked segments with "Things my producer is making me cover."

going to get rid of left leaning media if they can. I guess I will need to learn how to get the news from the internet and out people like Ed, Chris, Rachel and the others will have to find another way to get to us.

although it creates a little sadness, knowing that the same fight is still going on. K&R

We teared up, as so many of you did.

The nattering of TV's instant analysis aside, here's one of my takeaways: two years from now we will look back and use this speech as one of the yardsticks for measuring the accomplishments of Obama's so-called lame-duck presidency.

my young niece told her mother that she wished her generation had a cause like we did. Well the cause is still there and this is their chance.

One thing a lame-duck president needs is backup from the people. I am old now but I will back him on almost everything he wants to do - my one issue that I will not is TPP.
