  4. The Kennedy honors for Santana was also worth seeing, great music, and great to see President Obama sing along to "Black Magic Women". Also loved the Bruce Springsteen honors, Ron Kovic, who was born on the 4th of July and Born in the USA, spoke, as well as Obama. This is when he said I might be the President, but Bruce is the boss. Nice to have a president that can make a decent speech and also have a sense of humor.

    1. So......will singing "Black Magic Woman" be his legacy after EIGHT years in office?

  5. No of course not. Being President is taxing and stressful, it is nice to see a President relax and enjoy some of great music that the USA has to offer. I'm reading a book by Clint Hill, who was Jackie Kennedy's secret service agent. In private moments both President Kennedy and Jackie, had a sense of humor, actually Kennedy, as should be well known, had a sense of humor in his press conferences. Bush 41 had enough sense of humor and didn't take himself too seriously, that he invited Dana Carvey to the White House, knowing that Dana was going to do impressions of him. I was merely making a comment on a light moment, I didn't see a need to go any deeper than that. I like to see ANY president, relaxing and having a sense of humor, I don't have to agree with them on policies to enjoy it.

  6. Thank you I really think many people need to lighten up. So obviously 8:50 was not an Obama fan, but is it really necessary to bring that up, when it just shows him enjoying the entertainment with his wife. No wonder the country seem divided. It we like a politician we have to agree with them on EVERYTHING, and if we don't God forbid we might like their wife, or their sense of humor. Seems very stifling to me, and not reality if one posses a little critical thinking.
