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 ...
