I’m sorry to read you have to have surgery, but perhaps that’ll help relieve any discomfort you may be having.

Good evening everybody. I’ve not been able to check in here or on FR much these past few days. Must now go open a ton of mail that just showed up..

Here is what our local media said:

Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.

and then they ran a video of him saying:

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,".

Does this remind anyone else of Jimmy Carter in 1979?
