Fighting Isis and the fascist republicans who are brought and paid for by the treasonous Koch brothers who really want to overthrow our government.

Meanwhile trump and the rest of the republican presidential candidates look like the insane clown posse with their stupid rhetoric. (Apologies to the band insane clown posse)

Sorry, too tempting.

Back 30 years ago I had a job that found me traveling to Chicago about once every 4 weeks for more than five years. I really got to love Chicago and almost knew it better than NYC where I lived at the time.

Our offices were in Carol Stream and St. Charles.

I've been to Carol Stream and St. Charles, though. I used to live on the Far North Side, a few blocks from Lake Michigan. Lake Shore Drive has to be one of the most spectacular roadways anywhere.

He looks so tired. Even if he could run again, I don't think he would. Why would he subject himself & family to that abuse?

He's represented this country with dignity and grace. Thinking about anyone from the clown car coming in after him makes me

he kept his dignity throughout all of the GOP disgraceful tactics. He deserves so much respect for how he dealt with these clowns over the years.

That was a speech that needed to be given, and once again, he rose to the occasion. Hopefully that message reached a broad audience, being it is Sunday night.

By the time the GE came along I was convinced he was the best person for the job. He exceeded my expectations. So grateful inspite of all the obstruction he continues to lead us in difficult times. I would vote for him again.
