I Get Up Every Morning And Think...today

There's Something So Remarkable In The Intensity Of Taking Care Of Somebody Who Can't Take Care Of Him Or Herself. And Then Watching That Little Person Bloom Into Adolescence.

Everyone Who Knew [barack] Obama From Being In Hyde Park Knew He Was The Smartest Guy In Any Room He Walked Into; A Decent, Compassionate, Lovely Person; Pragmatic, Middle-of-the-road And Ambitious.

When [my Dad] Was At The University Of Michigan, My Mom Was A Social-worker. As He Rose, He Voted For [adlai] Stevenson Initially. Then He Voted For [dwight] Eisenhower. Then He Kept Voting Republican Until He Voted For Barack Obama. So That's Kind Of Amazing. But He Was Offered A Cabinet Post By Eisenhower In His Second Term. So He Was Moderate Republican. But If You Asked Him, He Would've Said, "i Don't Have Any Politics. I'm A Business Person." Mainstream, The American View, As He Understood It.

I Mean The Prime Case That You Can Look At Is Martin Luther King, Who Was Only An Activist For 13 Years. But Every Year, He Became Deeper, More Concerned, Connecting More Issues.

One Hundred Years From Now, We'll All Be Dead. It's Hard To Believe. One Hundred Years From Now, Everyone We See Every Day Will Be Gone.
