Corps men.

I loved when he was orating that if I like my insurance I can keep my insurance, and if I like my doctor I can keep my doctor, and that I could expect to save US$ 2,500 each year on insurance costs!

There is an old Doaist saying:

Fine-sounding words are not always true, and true words are not always fine-sounding.

Amazing that the ancients (circa 500 BC) in China understood this and yet even today so many do not.

Oh yes .. he is a great teleprompter reader - and so eloquent - till the power goes out. And he has that hypnotic cadence thing down pat. That so impressed so many starting back in 2007/2008, didn't it, that they are still under the trance. What a shame we will have to listen sometimes to less polished speech but full of truth, real caring about America and inclusion for all American citizens, even the ones who are miserable, unthinking, selfish and mean spirited enough to want to hate the rest of us.

Clinton supporters can stop telling me about Trump’s flaws. I am well aware of them. Both of the leading candidates are flawed. None of us have the option to pick the unflawed candidate. But we do get to pick more of the same for four more years versus something probably different.

These two flawed candidates have given us two of the clearest, different choices that voters have ever had in my lifetime. I am grateful for that choice.

Yes he did and also about Sarah Palin also.

While Trump is no angel, I will still take him over Hillary.

Sure, gotta trust the guy who campaigned/visited in all of the 57 states, creator of the "affordable" care act where one could keep their own doctor, etc.

If that were Trump up there, he would be calling to have the guy taken out on a stretcher, but Obama brought it right back to reality.

I really am going to miss him.
You must have low standards since Obama is going to go down in history as a pretty bad president. A hard worker? He's done pretty much nothing in his second term except tick off most of the rest of the world.

I also hope all of you Obama fans know that Hillary isn't the same as Obama... she's a much more corrupt, stereotypical career politician.

TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!!!!!

I usually don't correct people, since I'm also human and make mistakes, but you keep misspelling President Obama's name. It is Barack. Seriously, no matter what someone thinks about him, people really need to know how to spell our 44th president's name!

Faux news is a master of creating an alternate reality. Unfortunately for Faux viewers and their talking heads is that they end up believing the lies, and end up getting SPANKED by one President Barack Obama.
