The president [Barack Obama] did introduce a jobs bill that could not clear Congress. The Republicans simply would not work with him.

In trying times, I like to remember that you have to keep walking because you can't see what is around the corner.

The President [Barack Obama] became quite emotional about transgender student rights, threatening to pull Department of Education funds from school districts that do not comply with federal regulations. Black children are suspended from school three times more than white children are, and there is no evidence that black children are three times as unruly.

I especially appreciated hearing the President [Barack Obama] affirm that "black lives matter" and that it means that some citizens are feeling more pain, and experiencing more negative effects than others, and he offered up the stats. He also indicated that black lives matter does not negate the fact that blue lives matter. He ably walked the tightrope, here, between affirming both black life and police life.

African-American people adore President Obama.

You have a lot of young people who still feel somewhat marginalized, even if they do vote for Hillary Clinton.

I am addicted to the printed word, and my idea of a good time is a good book.
