Gretchen....HAPPY DAY.....LOVE the PICS! Hope he makes it back to Charlotte again....since I might ACTUALLY FINALLY get to SEE THE President (we MIGHT have to spend a year or so there....) He never comes to the West Coast....wwaaahhhh.
Hope you're feeling better.
You will find more photos and VIDEO of the President's North Carolina speech/Q&A at the following website:
[Note: You will find the Q&A with the Kerry wannabe (what a jerk) toward the end of the 'tape' . . . the President handled the situation with his usual good humor and CLASS!]

POLLING UPDATE:
I'm sure the various FoxNews pundits and talking heads will be quoting the new Opinion Dynamics poll ad nauseum tonight and thru the weekend. The following is all you need to know about this poll:
1.) The ONLY thing that changed between this poll -- 36% approve 53% disapprove (-17) -- and the last poll -- 39% approve 51% disapprove (-12), is the polling sample. Specifically, the differential between the percentage of Democrats and Republicans polled changed by 4 points (advantage Democrats):
Apr 04-05: 39% Democrat 34% Republican (-5)
Mar 14-15: 37% Democrat 36% Republican (-1)
FUN FACTOID from this poll:
Republicans (Congress)-- 29% approve
Democrats (Congress)-- 29% approve
Additionallly, when dealing with illegal immigration, 58% of Republicans and 63% of Democrats believe we should deal with the illegal immigrants already here and/or a combo of dealing with the illegals already here and securing the borders -- the President's COMPREHENSIVE position.
Concurrently, 69% agree (including 69% of Republicans)that the US should provide illegals with some type of temporary worker status -- also a position of the President!
2.) Interestingly, today's RASMUSSEN'S poll puts the President's JA rating at an 8-day high:
43% approve 56% disapprove
[NOTE: According to Rasmussen, who also oversamples Democrats (just not as flagrantly as other pollsters), the President's JA rating has consistently ranged between 40% and 45% (43%-48% likely voters) for March and early April -- basically where he (the President) was during the 2004 election cycle!

Our president was AWESOME again today during his speech/Q&A . . . We are truly a blessed nation with this man at the helm!
I'm heading off to bed . . . Night all!
