most of President Obama's speech last night but fell asleep right at the end...not because it was boring but because, ya know, he is almost 90 and it was way past his bedtime!) Anyway, he got tears in his eyes watching it. Then we changed channels and it was replaying on another channel...and he teared up again. (Like Daughter, Like Father) My mom, who is also a good Democrat, but not quite as much of a political junkie, loves Obama and always is concerned that he is so thin. Maybe she is worried that the Republicans are stealing his food!! Last week during the GOP convention, my mother was upset because there were so many people there. Today I said "Do you see all the Democrats there? Feel better now?!" Of course, they are both absolutely horrified by Trump and cannot believe that people are actually going to vote for him. One more good one: Last week the rock group Queen put out a statement that they didn't want Trump using their song "We are the Champions". It came across the bottom of the screen on CNN "Queen angry with Trump using song." I had to explain to them that the Queen of England wasn't upset about the music Trump was using.

They aren't just playing it up for politics. Quite the contrast to early 2008 when I think they legitimately hated each other

This is from when they made an appearance together last January. From Hillary's blog,

"What President Obama’s Legacy Means to Me"

If you take a step back and look at all America has achieved over the past eight years, it’s remarkable to see how far we’ve come. ... As president, I will carry forward the Democratic record of achievement. I’ll defend President Obama’s accomplishments and build upon them. ...

We’ve made tremendous progress over the past eight years. That shouldn’t be dismissed or taken lightly. Let’s keep that progress going. Let’s make sure no one turns the clock back. We’ve come too far. We’ve accomplished too much. We can do even more for our families, our communities, and the country we love. And together, we can build an economy and a country that works for everyone. That would be truly revolutionary.


And as the ImmoralMinority blogger put it:
Now see that speaks to me. We do not need a revolution, because President Obama WAS the revolution. What we need now is for a reliable person to take over the job and further the progress that Obama has already made.
