I still have the concert at the Lincoln Memorial just before the Inaugural on a VHS tape. He truly could have worked well with a Congress wanting to help this country 7 years after its first attack on the mainland and inheriting that horrendous economic nightmare in the year of his campaign.

He was ready, willing and able. And the world loved him. We loved him. Then comes the bankrupt GOP, acting like terrorists bent on destroying him and our economy.

Still. It was an unforgettable and fabulous day.
