We are so grateful for an opportunity to do anything for the parents who have loved and supported us through all. I know part of your reluctance is because you see yourself as the one to take care of him; well you have done so and obviously brilliantly. Just accept his help graciously and go and have a good time, which is all that he wants. I often have similar situations with my mom and I have to keep telling her that it is my privilege to do anything that will help to make her life easier and better.

Watching the President in action is like watching a really skilled chess master. He thinks ahead several moves and several different permutations. When all the pieces finally come together, you’re left breathless with awe and wonder at how adroitly he was able to anticipate so many of the oppositions moves.

One thing I’ve learned in 2011 is “wait and see” when it comes to Obama because it’s clear that he’s operating on a plane that is very different than most within the Beltway. I learned this hard way, but I learned it.

Look, when you’ve got the leading GOP Senator filibustering himself on the floor of the Senate, who knows what else will happen?

Hillary and Bill Clinton are more economically conservative than Obama. So, when liberals and progressives try to present them as more liberal than they really were, I am puzzled. And this is despite the fact that I do like Bill Clinton, but unlike some of my more liberal and emotional counterparts, I have not forgotten his record. He’s the one who gave us NAFTA, DADT, and DOMA.
