I watched a part of Obama's speech, Bill Clinton's and Joe Biden's. I haven't watched Kamala Harris yet, but I will. Just haven't had the time for that yet.

God, I miss intelligence. I miss insight. I miss speech making. I miss civility. I miss compassion.

I remember what it was like to be able to FORGET what was going on in the world because these leaders had it covered and *I* didn't have to worry about it. They were on top of things. No vanity, no stupidity, no egos, no gold plated trashy looking shit in the Oval Office. They were serious. They had a job to do and they did it.

God, I just miss it!!!
