Presidential News Conference, August 9, 2013


Carol Lee: Can you understand, though, why some people might not trust what you're saying right now about wanting to --

THE PRESIDENT: No, I can’t.

I am not great with eulogies.


So I'll refer you to Scott at World of Crap.

And Roy at Alicublog.

One day Doghouse gave me a THE Internets are now closed salute. I was very happy. I won't forget him.
