Well said. And thanks to all my progressive friends here who tolerate my presence and encourage my participation. I appreciate it. Here's to America and Democracy!
I can't help but feeling that Obama is thinking, "My daughter got to meet Bruce Springsteen tonight! How cool is that!" A dad can be no more righteous.
I've always thought that the best part of getting elected president would be picking out who I'd want to play at the inaugural ball.
If I were elected, I could get The Loud Family and 5 Chinese Brothers to reform, at least for one show. I'd be the leader of the free world, and I'd be saying to myself, "Holy fuck, I just got to shake Chuck Berry's hand!"
Thanks BG! I believe you, and I totally appreciate you and Steve taking the time to be kind and supportive. As a token of my esteem and appreciation, I encourage each of you to give me some righteous shit if you guys win! Seriously, friends, even those I have yet to meet, trump politics any day.
Bruce has always loved coming to The Cleve and of all of the snapshots of yesterday's events, this one was my fave as well.
ReplyDeleteOne more day...

Trey, as Dan Quayle graciously said after Clinton won in 1992 --
ReplyDeleteRelax. If he (Obama) governs as well as he campaigned, we'll be just fine.

Those two kids are incredibly cute. I look forward to watching them grow up in the White House.
