Emotional Obama Tearfully Thanks Trump for Granting Him Citizenship--witnessed by Andy Borowitz
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling this “the greatest day of my life,” a visibly moved Barack Obama held a news conference on Friday to thank Donald Trump for granting him U.S. citizenship.
“The issue of whether or not I was a U.S. citizen has been a dark cloud over my existence for as long as I can remember,” a tearful Obama told the press corps. “Only one man had the courage, wisdom, and doggedness to make that cloud go away: Donald J. Trump.”
The President, who had to halt several times during his remarks to compose himself, praised the Republican Presidential nominee for “never giving up” in his quest to prove that Obama was born in the U.S.
“A weaker man would have said, ‘I don’t need this in my life,’ but Donald Trump was always there for me,” the President said. “Over the past five years, barely a day went by when he didn’t call me and say, ‘Barack, I don’t care what a bunch of crackpots say. You were born here, and I’m going to prove it once and for all.’”
The President said he planned to spend the day celebrating his U.S. citizenship with his family. “It’s great to be an American, at last,” he said.

Home again, Savannah behind me. Thinking all excitement might have waned after my long trip.
A half hour ago my phone rings and a neighbor says: Are you home, if yes, grab a camera and step out and look down the street.
At first I saw nothing special, and then suddenly coming up the sidewalk,this dressed Lady Godiva appeared.
So much for sleepy Southern Towns.
remember this?:
(the trailer to the movie “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”
Nearing night in the Garden of Good and Evil - I forgot about stopping and haunting the cemetery
This is not THE cemetery where the famous statue is from the movie with Kevin Spacey and John Cusak and of course “the Lady Chablis”. That cemetery is on the outskirts. This one is in the heart of town, and I passed it on my way back to the motel, and, in the absence of tourists and the abundance of parking places, I stopped and paid a short visit.
Stop me before I post again :) I got enamored with “steps” in Savannah this evening
Going down to the river in Savannah almost always necessitates taking ancient steps, that are labeled to be “historic - and you are on your own using them”
I took an hour walk today, and other than the step photos I got to obsess about a second thing, and that is the absence of tourists, and therefore economic well being. All the clothes you see in two photos here were 50 percent off. Store wide. I realize it is off season, but not to the degree I saw today. I kept thinking that this is the America the Top Deplorable, AKA the Donald, wants to make great again. It surely won’t happen with more tax cuts to the rich and with enlarging the money spent on the military etc. etc.
I may post the photos illustrating my secondary thoughts, in the meantime, I hope you like the ones with steps.
Thanks everyone, you have been good sports and have given me kudos and feedback while I was hogging the posting.
I’m probably not through, but I will be home tomorrow, and real life awaits.
On the road again
Made it as far as Daytona Beach, and got up at sunrise to take a walk on the beach.
This man was the only other person out there at 6:30 am. Took lots of photos, but I must get on the road again, so this is all I've got now.
She had me after the first jerk on the first jerk's neck: Tribute to Joy Reed doing her job so well
I've been noticing positive comments on DU about Joy Reed. So I literally sat down to see her Sunday morning show and now I am crystal clear on just why that is!
She does not allow rambling from talking points or non answers from anyone.
She does not allow veering off the subject or twisting those non-answers into accusations against the opponent.
She has the warmest smile when she goes after them by precisely labeling their behavior and their often underhanded intentions.
She stops them cold, and forces them to either start over and present an appropriate answer and if that is not forthcoming she shuts them up and tells them why.
She is a force to be heeded and reckoned with.
It seems she has become must see TV.
Above all else she has perfected the art of not allowing interruptions. If they start talking over the person who has the floor in order to drown out their words she puts an immediate end to it, but first she calls them on what they are doing and labels it.
I so wish we could have her in charge of the debates to come! She would shine a penetrating light on non-answers, garbage talk, dancing around issues and diversions, and she would on the spot call anyone out on lies or obfuscation and she would back it up with obvious knowledge and proof.
I used to think of her as the woman who either never sleeps, or has an identical twin. I had noticed she seems to be filling in for someone or shows up on the screen a whole lot.
I now know it's time to sit down and turn up the sound and pay close attention when this happens.
What a perfect time to have such a perfect person doing her important job this well!
It’s embarrassing to be so repetitive —but I almost lost my cookies when I saw this Iguana
I start with this shot, which I took when I spied it on the hedge at the fence, to give you a reference to size. I would say it was the size of a small cat.
Maybe this iguana hoped I was not coming too much closer yet stayed wary. He even did a 180 while I put my purse down and tried to become invisible
In the end I tried to creep up more, and it turned and plopped to the ground sounding like a dropped watermelon
I’m throwing in this one to remind and show you how afeared I have been of accidentally stepping on one.
Walk at sunset tonight. Even have a few bird pictures
A mixture of things I saw tonight on a short walk. The main purpose was the gathering of some rocks for my front yard, since I’m here with my car.
