“The teachers unions are the clearest example of a group that has lost its way. Whenever anyone dares to offer a new idea, the unions protest the loudest.

“Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most - from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robin’s family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams.” HumansKindMadeSpiritFoundPresidentVoiceLaughingOur LivesStreetsTalentCryNeededOffersElementsDoctorsThanksAliensTouchingProfessorsPeterTroopsVersesHuman SpiritRobinsOur TroopsMarginalizedCondolencesNanniesOne Of A KindGeniesAirmenOur Condolences Author:Barack Obama

“The truth of the matter is one knows what it's like being the president. Not I, nor any president to come hence. This is because life, thankfully, offers deeper quandaries. While in office, I would often wake up in a daze, wondering how I could wiggle my toes without even thinking it so, or why hair grows only on certain places and not our entire bodies, or why we aren't completely bald, or why we must close our eyes and sleep every night, or any of the millions of particulars of daily existence, let alone that I was elected the leader of an entire nation.” ThinkingKnowsMatterBodyEyeNightCertainNationsGrowsPresidentSleepExistenceLeaderWonderMillionsHairOffersOfficeWake UpDeeperEvery NightToesDaze Author:George Washington
