A Valentine from Obama

My iTunes has been diligently downloading President Obama's weekly addresses over the last four weeks. I just spent the last 20 minutes catching up.

Here, a favorite quote from the Valentine's Day edition.

"This morning I'm reminded of words President Kennedy spoke in another time of uncertainty. 'Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. So not pray for tasks equal to your powers, but pray for powers equal to your tasks.' America, we will prove equal to this task. It will take time, and it will take effort, but working together we will turn this crisis into opportunity, and emerge from our painful present into our brighter future. After weeks spent with the fundamentally decent men and women of this nation, I've never been more certain of that."

Man, Mr. O. You always sound so freaking presidential, and I like it. I just wish your A/V guys would get some better lighting and background for you. I know the economy is depressing, but you're our beacon of light! Let's look like it!

PS- I'm not sure I approve of your tie this week. Polka dots and TV cameras don't work so well together.
