    After I saw this on television I wrote President Obama a letter. I told him how much I appreciated his visit to Alaska. We are a unique people. I ended the letter by telling him it was good to see him with kids laughing and dancing. I later received a letter in the mail from him with an autographed photo of him dancing with kids. Pretty cool.

      +Hula Shack He could do something so very much worse that it'd be hard to wrap your head around if he did: He could spend US$2+Trillion on wars that no one needed, provisioned via bizarrely exorbitant no-bid contracts, paid for with money borrowed from Asia because he knew his "constituents" wouldn't have the guts to put the money on the barrelhead: *This is what Bush Jr. did.*
      Instead, Obama travels around the U.S., meeting (gasp!) _AMERICANS!!!! Horrors!_
      You glass-half-empty types crack me up. You say Obama hates America. Then, when he uses a modicum of public money to remind everyone that non-CONUS folks are Americans too, and shows his love and respect to them, you say, "And we paid for THIS?!?!?"
      You're _so_ ugly inside.
      Obama has it _ALL_, up and down the scale, along so many dimensions. I will never understand how the U.S. lucked out and got a President capable and decent beyond the just deserts of the average American.
      We won't see another who'll come anywhere _near_ him for fundamental fitness for the job, for a very, very long time.
      I'm just glad we were able to wring two terms out of him!

      +MAD4MALAGATANI We need a President who's both! Obama works hard, and takes the job very seriously. Let the man dance with kids a little! All work and no play... !
      Or is it just that you're envious because he gets to do "it all": He gets to administer the gov't _and_ he gets to frolic with kids. Looks like a well-'rounded personality type, to me!

    Obama said he has been practicing.... I did not know that clowns practiced!

      +FLATUANT Clowns practice _very_ hard! You don't have even _one_ friend in the business?
      Don't insult good professional clowns! (Hi, Tharpo!)
