I took the moment and signed “I am proud of you,” and his response was “Thank u” in sign language back! Oh my gosh! I was like wow! He understood me after I said I was proud of him. It was so amazing…I was just speechless.

“Has anybody been watching the debates lately? You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change. It’s true. You’ve got audiences cheering at the prospect of somebody dying because they don’t have health care and booing a service member in Iraq because they’re gay.”
— President Obama, quoted at a Sunday night fundraiser, slamming Rick Perry and the Republican debates audiences.

An excellent article, via Andrew, which lays out a pretty compelling case for the nation’s decline. Ohio, it’s not all your fault, but please wake up.
