I had forgotten how normal (and great) it was to hear an intelligent, compassionate, caring president speak so eloquently in full sentences. Instead, we are subjected to a doddering old fool incoherently spewing gibberish on a daily basis. That some people prefer the latter to the former is something I will never comprehend.
