    When Things Were Sane

    I know some will see this as a way to diminish Trump. If it does, it's because of the successful portrayal of Barack Obama with all the qualities that make for an admirable human being. Need I say more. Don't forget that this man did the same job for Ronald Regan. This should be watched for the brilliant photos that captured the essence of the moment. It, for me, brought back memories of the ugliness of Sandy Hook and the killings in the Baptist church. It was very well done.
