1. IMO, that was a shame.

I think Teddy, not unlike a parent, put personality and character traits on President Obama that were SIMPLY not there. :(

3. for those if us who like to read, I wish you would put in a

little synopsis or your opinion of what you saw, etc. rather than just a link. ups the interest factor. Sometimes these links are jokes or sometimes just lame. This would help not waste our time. Thank you for your consideration.

7. "you will be the president"

"you will be the president who at long last signs into law the health care reform that is the great unfinished business of our society."

Full text of the letter for those who'd like to read it again...

And there's this....

Bernie Sanders just mentioned on Hardball that a photo of Ted Kennedy with the words "let's get it done" hangs in the Democratic cloak room.
