Watching part of the video of the president in the backyard. Why is he using a microphone when speaking in such a small venue? What is he saying? He sure likes the sound of his own voice.

What was your impression?

the video/backyard appearance...to me it looks like he's going back to his "comfort zone": the community organizer gig....trying to revive some of that old magic....the microphone was a prop for the teleprompter-less president...something to remind him and the others that he WAS the President, however...just a few levels above community organizer: PATHETIC!!

Toby, take care with those chores....same "stuff" here...

Guenevere, the other day at the library, I found a book about 9/11...looks like lots of stories like that... & much worse..:-(
