He said something to the effect of, it's like America's been living in squalor with our unfit parents for the last 4 years, but then Grandpa Joe drove up, and said "Come on, kid, pack your stuff, your going to be staying with me for a while. Sure, it'll be a little boring, but you'll have a nice warm bed and you'll know what every day will bring."
Maybe its just because my grandparents were there for me, or because my wife and I are protective of our grandchildren, but that analogy really resonated with me.
Here's the link to that portion of the show - the 'Grandpa Joe' stuff is at the last couple of minutes.
