Feliz Navidad and Geseënde Kersfees to all!

Couldn't find it in Hawaiian. Probably Aloha - which has SO many meanings.
Glad I saw it before Viacom idiots pulled it!

When you get older I think there's just too much crammed in your brain. We had a luau in sixth grade and I probably would never have thought of it again. メリークリスマス

I feel now that all his flip flops on issues dear to us may be because he was threatened by assholes in the military contractor intelligence community. These fascists are ruining our country as they are merchants of death and incarceration.

Fantastic show. The audience was so loud and appreciative. I hope that lifted the President's spirits a bit above all the griping and sniping and ugliness thrown his way.

His eyes look battled and stern. He has changed a lot since '08, most Presidents do age rapidly but it's his eyes. He has seen things we don't want to know about, kinda look.

I am going to miss this extraordinary person so much. He makes me want to be a better man (that's a line from some comedy movie I forget which)
