The president said the attack in Boston was very personal for him, having come to know the city as a law student at Harvard and working in a White House “full of Bostonians.”

“It’s a city that I love, that I spend a lot of time in, that’s been very kind to me,” he said. “I’ve got a lot of friends and supporters there, law professors and buddies going from way back and a lot of them go to the marathon, a lot of them run in the marathon.”

Mass loves this President, or at least most of us do. Even when they do not agree with him at all times, they respect the man and his compassion for those that suffer and those that suffered that day. He honored us as we honor him, at least most of us.

Our President is a class act. Boston was very kind to me, too, enabling so many Yankee rings.... msanthrope Apr 2014 #13

The President is indeed a class act. sheshe2 Apr 2014 #15

Hey Will....did you appeal the formulary, in writing, as I advised you to? msanthrope Apr 2014 #40

Hey msanthrope...did you just change the subject again? WilliamPitt Apr 2014 #41

Again...did you take my advice and appeal the formulary in writing? msanthrope Apr 2014 #42

A class act indeed. LanternWaste Apr 2014 #24

What a lousy attempt at hijacking a thread. Grow up. nm rhett o rick Apr 2014 #19

You can always put me on ignore! nt msanthrope Apr 2014 #20

actually there are more replies in the subthread than to the OP snooper2 Apr 2014 #25

I find that when an OP does not address posters to their thread, that tends to happen. nt msanthrope Apr 2014 #30

In either case I think it's a lousy thing to do. It's an attempt at rhett o rick Apr 2014 #38

How crass - nt badtoworse Apr 2014 #27

Indeed. Calling the President a "piece of shit used car salesman" was crass. nt msanthrope Apr 2014 #29

Will apologized for that. The crass comment describes your post badtoworse Apr 2014 #31

No, actually I found Mr. Pitt's apology to be factually deficient, and I don't accept it, as I told msanthrope Apr 2014 #33

You should stop digging badtoworse Apr 2014 #34
