Quote of the Day


"This all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya. We had constant run-ins on the soccer field. He wasn't very good and resented it. When we finally moved to America I thought it would be over."

-- President Obama, on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, joking about Donald Trump's latest challenge.

He could have easily descended to the level of Romney or Trump in this campaign, but chose to deflect Trump's ludicrousness with wit, and Romney's complete lack of experience with a lesson on Monday night in what being C-in-C really entails. I think he sealed the deal on Monday night.
