    I’ve been listening to all of you, TOD.

    You know how much I respect VP Biden and that I consider him an incredibly well prepared next President and a President who will expand President Obama’s extraordinary accomplishments.

    You also know my deep respect for Senator Warren and that I think she would be an outstanding President and it would be great if she were our first female President.

    You also know how much I wish Ambassador Power had been born of an American citizen. She would be an outstanding President.

    But, as noted, I’ve been listening and have spent time reviewing several folk not least of whom is Governor Patrick. I could not imagine a starker contrast than Governor Patrick v Governor Walker. Make no mistake the Kochs’ boy is Scott Walker and, baring an indictment and prosecution, they will buy the nomination for him. Kicking Mitt to the curb was the warning to Jeb and others to not waste their time.

    In that context ….

    The symmetry of DNC 2004 and 2012 is dully noted, btw.

            We will be organized, pf58, of that I know President Obama is going to be absolutely committed to accomplishing. He, more than any person on the planet, knows how important to all that he has accomplished and to all the Americans he cares so deeply the outcome of 8Nov16 is.

              Agree that they appear disorganized, amk. However, the KochBro have their boy and they will purchase the nomination for him irrespective of the cost. For them it’s merely an investment and a trivial one in terms of their net worth. We will have a GOP Walker nominee for President unless, as noted, he is indicted and prosecuted.

      Yes….i have been thinking about them all day…don’t know what to do about them…they put us all at risk…the media was up in arms about the “EBOLA” infections…but folks don’t seem to be too upset about the potential of a measles epidemic…

      @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
      The Disneyland measles outbreak, which has grown to at least 50 people in five states and Mexico, is raising questions about state laws that allow unvaccinated children to attend school and stoking heated arguments about vaccination.

        Ah one of my favorite poets! My Dad gave me my first book of poems and it was a collection of Langston Hughes’ poems. Thank you for posting! When my Dad passed 6 yrs ago, I read his favorite Langston Hughes poem at his memorial which is below:

        Dream Variations

        To fling my arms wide
        In some place of the sun,
        To whirl and to dance
        Till the white day is done.
        Then rest at cool evening
        Beneath a tall tree
        While night comes on gently,
        Dark like me—
        That is my dream!

        To fling my arms wide
        In the face of the sun,
        Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
        Till the quick day is done.
        Rest at pale evening . . .
        A tall, slim tree . . .
        Night coming tenderly
        Black like me.
