Big difference from when Joe is there and interrupts her.

It's better with just one of the two self-serving egotists in the room at the same time. It must be the competition that makes Joe and Mica so obnoxious as a team.

Yeah, it's not even 5:00 a.m. on the Left Coast, USA...but I could not sleep.

She was followed by Pres Obama in a campaign clip, who made me spit coffee all over my keyboard. His comment on Hershel Walker...priceless. Pres Obama says: You're in the Atlanta airport and Walker is spotted. Can you imagine people saying, "Hey, he's a Heisman Trophy winner -- let's let him fly the plane!!!"

And...GADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...I miss Obama. What a great person and, man, can he bond with an audience. Even with a heckler, he handles it so graciously.

Add to that a lovely voice, a sense of humor and amazing communication skills. He also has no problem laughing at himself or speaking the plain truth. When he used the word shellacking after the 2010 midterms, I had new respect for him. In summary, he’s comfortable in his own skin.

The voice, the smile, and his body language -- the way he leans into the audience...like he is directly speaking -- and individually so -- to each person who is there. Even a heckler...he may deflect what was said and toss it off, but it is never cruel or abusive nor does his body tighten up in offense or anger.

Yep, totally comfortable in his own skin...and a total class act! Gads, so nice to see him!

Only afterward do I realize how tense my body gets when I’m angry… and living in Cowboys for Trump county gives me lots of opportunities to remain calm like Obama but I don’t.
I’m trying to calm my breathing (long, slow exhales or 4-7-8 breaths) so I’m improving but it doesn’t come naturally.
