　　Wonder that people keep pointing out how the president CNamazement. Alex old John Maynard Carter invited Netanyahu speaking myfuneral. Meanwhile Michelle has amazed today. Have to order figuredshe just says. Fresh fruits and vegetables. It's aggravated.

　　Factis though at this point my legacy is finally beginningdetection. Their economy is getting better. Mind that in tenAmericans now have health coverage. It's. Good. No longer haveto worry about losing your insurance if you lose yourjob. You're welcome senate Democrats. Not look it is trueI have not managed to make everybody happy. Six yearsand in my presidency some people still say I'm arrogant.

　　And aloof. Condescending. Some people are so don't. They wouldn't.

　　And that's not all people say about. A few weeksago Dick Cheney says he thinks I'm the worst presidentof his lifetime. What is interesting because I think DickCheney is the worst president in my lifetime. What appointments.

　　America got some of them say these days. Mike Huckabeerecently said people should enjoy our military until a trueconservative is elected president. Think about that. It was sooutrageous 47 Ayatollah wrote us a letter. Trying to explainto Huckabee how our system works. They get worse. Doesthis week Michelle Bachmann. Ash. Actually predicted.

The SecretService thanks to some excellent reporting by a White Housecorrespondents. They're relieved. Focusing on. Some of the issues thatcome up and they finally figured out a full proofway to keep people off my lawn. That works. Asnot just fence jumpers. Some you know a few monthsago drone crash landed.

　　I want to thank ourhosts for the men Chicago girl an incredibly talented it.Syphilis around. Bond the Saturday Night Live Sicily impersonate CNN64. anchor Brooke Baldwin. Which is surprising because usually the onlypeople impersonate journalists on CNN. Are journalists on CNN. ABCis there was some of the stars from their bignew comedy black fish. I. As a great show whetherto give ABC fair warning. Being black issue only makesyou popular for so long trust. There's a shelf lifecommitment. As all us.

　　The reporters here have a lotto cover over the last year here on the EastCoast. One big story with the brutal winner. The polarvortex because so many record lows they renamed it. MSNBC.But of course. Let's face it there is one issueon every reporters' minds matters points sixteen. Already we've seensome missteps. Turns out Jeb Bush identified himself as Hispanicback in 2009. Which annoyed look I understand there's anit was a mistake. Reminds me of when I identifiedmyself as American Bakken. 1961. Ted Cruz says they're denyingthe existence of climate change. Maybe there. Mayhem like Galileo.That's not really an apt. Compare us. Galileo believed theearth revolves around the sun. Ted Cruz believes the earthrevolves around Ted Cruz. I and handel's messiah don't wantone out when a guy. Who have this based ona hope poster called you self centered.

　　You know you'vegot a problem. Most of the men veterans. Creeping upall through high. Meanwhile Rick Santorum announced that he wouldnot attend the the same sex wedding of a friendor a loved one. Towards gays and lesbians across thecountry responded that's not going to be a problem. Don'tlet them. And Donald Trump is it. Still. Anyway. It'samazing how time flies.

It's justme or does that feel a little excessive. Ms. almostinsulting to the candidates. Both that could cope Brothers thinkthey need to spend a billion dollars to get folksto like one of these people. Gotta hurt their feelingswell it. And look I'm drivers lot of money tobut. The offense my middle name is Hussein. The trailhasn't been easy for my fellow Democrats either.

　　As weall know Hillary's brother emails that are in trouble. Franklinup I was going to be your private instead Grahamaccount that was gonna cause a bigger problems. Hillary thingsoff by going completely unrecognized. And it's a poll what.Not to be outdone. Martin O'Malley kicked things off bygoing completely unrecognized that it Martin O'Malley campaign. And BernieSanders might run. I'm Mike Vernon birds bears and apparentlysome folks really wanna see a pot smoking socialist inthe White House. We could get a third Obama terminalpro. And where is always on a close up moreserious note. I often joke about tensions between me inthe press but. Honestly what they say doesn't bother meI understand we've gotten adversarial system.

Murder for nothing more than trying167. to shine light into some of the world's darkest corners.The journalists unjustly imprisoned around the world including. Our ownJason. Raising.
