They could not have been more effusive in their praise of Obama. They were pretty much as effusive with all the other headliners. Not a single kind word for Yammie. Not one.

Did anyone else make this kind of switch and notice what i noticed?

You could drop your cable subscription and listen to yourself talk if that's what you're looking for.

And don't call adult women girl.

and calling a grown woman from Alameda County a girl is only a good idea if you want to help your dentist make boat payments.

And the OP doesn't know her, so familiarity is not an excuse.
