His perspective n interviews with people he had met last year was like meeting old friends..easy to relate to n the people seemed at ease with him. One of the better journalists. I hope he finds time to sleep!

And this was even better since, as you said, since he met with old (informative) friends.

Mom told me, "Pay attention, because this is almost a Declaration of War that he's giving. You should remember this."

And I do.

And here is another extraordinary moment in history, delivered by an extraordinary President. Backlit by the waning days of Jimmy Carter and his own extraordinary life.

This is as dramatic and historic as any time in our nation's history. Be present. Breathe it in deeply and hold it within your soul.

Yet again, these are dangerous times - and, yet again, we're fortunately blessed with extraordinary leadership.

He was "going to bury us." In school, we had drills hiding in the basement. No one was rooting for the Russians back in the day.
