President Obama on Stephen Colbert tonight

Oh how I miss President Obama. He's so intelligent, articulate, charismatic, kind, personable and has a great sense of humor.

How far we have fallen from those days. I can't imagine DJT being any of those things ever.

And I can't wait to go to Chicago to see the center!

I like him so much that I give him a pass for liking the Sox over the Cubs!

He is a South Side guy, after all.

That is something that can't be faked. He is so genuine. He seems to really like people, too, especially youngsters.

What a great, great man.

What a great interview. Fun and funny. Very much worth watching. Gonna miss Colbert. He's been my favorite since The Daily Show and Colbert Report. Sigh ...

saying Democrat party instead of Democratic party. I listened to that part twice and it sure sounded like that's what he said.

It's my pet peeve. We are the Democratic party. Other than that, loved him way back when; love him now; and will always love him.
