Wow....and , wow....thought Michelle was a powerhouse,

and though I KNEW The Big Dawg would Nail it...I had no idea, how blown away I am....how we all are.

He LOVED calling out all the LIES, He LOVED being the one to say "yeah, mofo's it take MORE than 8 years to clean up YOUR shit for brains policy!!!"

I LOVED seeing him at his true best. Conversational, familiar, fun and yet full of WISDOM...like your uncle who has danced with the mafia and survived...
and of course my southern roots loves to hear him say "I'm fixin' to tell ya"

I was honored to meet Bill Clinton in 98 at the Environmental Summit for Lake Tahoe. I shook his hand and relayed this shoirt quote:
"I watched you at the '92 convention as a single mom on welfare, now i stand here with these" (as I showed him my press creds.)

He took my hand in both of his and said "I'm proud of you!"

....And I was moved to do much more as a mom, a woman, a journalist since then...
and NOW, under Pres Obama's Student Loan rehabilitation programs, I can go BACK to school and finish my degree in Journalism!

I am voting Dem for so many reasons....and many of those reasons ARE my fellow Americans...
