I'm one of those early to bed-early to rise idiots. I baled before Pres. O

From what I have read and heard on the morning news maybe it was good that I did. I don't think I would been able to fall asleep for hours if I had heard him speak. What a man and what an endorsement. I do think there is still a place for President Barack Obama after he leaves office in Washington to a new work place at 1 First Street, NE.

It is about time that our great states-persons are not shuffled off to obscurity in America but continue to grace us with their wisdom.

I may get a chance to download it at my office if I ever get there this week. Retirement if great, I just don't see it for our man Barack.

I have no cable and strict data caps. That's one of the privileges of living in the country, along with bright red neighbors. Speaking of the former there seems to be a growing unease with the path they are being lead down.

It's 'bailed' and 'led' (past tense of 'lead').

And I make mistakes, too, believe it or not!

Language is beautiful-I hate it when words and syntax are mangled especially by me.

On the larger point, I agree with you. I'm like the gracious grammarian... But without the "gracious" part, myself, sometimes.

I'll just have to nix any more lice puns, know what I'm sayin'?

that had any understanding of grammar and syntax thanks to my Mom and Dad. Know after living with these illiterate yahoos for all these years is it any wonder I can still be mostly understood in speech and writing. BTW my spelling always sucked.

Took down Donald. He gave Hillary a full and energetic endorsement, saying she's the most prepared candidate ever for the job. He talked about the reality of the US: most other nations still look to us as a beacon of hope and freedom, and that we have what it takes to solve our problems.

with a Dem majority congress to approve it. Maybe we'll finally overturn Citizens United and strengthen our reforms of healthcare and the financial industry.

Had to get up at 5:30 to take husband to the airport, but could not get to sleep because I was so pumped after the President's speech. Got 2 hours sleep.
