2. ...

Was looking for his statements at the DC Navy Yard today (they weren't up on line yet), came across this. Thought it was worth a look. His weekly address often gets overlooked.

3. I know, turned on the TV just in time to see live coverage from the Navy Yard service

And I wondered, yet again, why anyone would want this job. But the president was pitch perfect, as always.

5. I thought it was a fascinating speech. Part politics, part sermon, part personal.

I really liked how he linked the need to act as our due to those families who lost loved ones. I found it really moving.

6. He truly is a brilliant speaker, but it's because you can tell that he really feels what he's saying

I got choked up when he was embracing the families. He responds personally to the families that he meets with. And there have been so many... It must take a lot out of him, but he's able to keep his composure. That was one of my first impressions of this president, and when I decided that he was a good guy.

4. I don't think the Republicans care..This is all about what they want.

They want this President to Fail, and they will make things worse for us, to show how much they hate this President.
