It is wonderful hearing the President speak again. The panel of young people is discussing political and civic engagement.

To be on TV praising Trump's actions. The democratic leadership should try to arrange something like that every day.

But what's unfortunate is you have Obama and all of these young people talking about what is needed to bridge the gap between left and right in America when the other side is having White Supremacy rallies where they're literally talking about eliminating the other half of America.

It's war to them, not easy to bridge the gap when the other side wants to kill you.

He's so sane. So normal. So cogent. So intelligent. To quote Nancy Carrigan, "Why?????????". How did this happen that we've gone from Barrack Obama to a back ward psycho??
