President Obama says "we've been waiting for you"

1. Now THAT'S how a President speaks. And tweets. My feelings exactly.

I'm so proud of those young people. The generation right before them were not very engaged politically, seems to me. But THIS crop of young people reminds me of the 1960s protesters. The ones who helped to end the Vietnam War, although it took years.

It amazes me that people are amazed that young people could be so articulate and vocal about an issue, so they must be actors, or someone told them what to say.

I guess once you're hunted down and have seen your friends blown apart, you grow up pretty fast.
