#1 No.

YOU can be better.
The Nation can be better by not having elected YOU.
It's all about YOU.

#4 Gabrielle Giffords, she had opened her eyes for the first time since being shot point-blank in the head in the liquidation attempt four days ago. First lady Michelle Obama held hands with Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, as the news brought a cascade of cheers.

"Go now, and tell no one of these things."

#5 opened her eyes for the first time

I read a different report that said the above was not really true - that she had opened her eyes earlier. But I wasn't there, and Obama was, so.....

#7 Geez, dude....the phrase of the day was "Together we thrive". It was on all the t shirts and everything. Stay. On. Message.

Did TOTUS go rogue again, dammit??

#8 I remember a medical update a few days beforehand the doctor in charge noted she had opened her eyes.

There are only two other explanations for that statement, one being they had continuous video of Mrs. Gifford, and the other being, well..."opened her eyes for the first time (for me)." I guess there are other explanations, like being able to heal the blind.

#9 Obama tells polarized nation: 'We can be better'

#10 "Together we thrive"

Should have said: "The Together We Thrive 2011 Obama Tour."

T-Shirts was pretty tacky.

#11 Re-branding tragedy? Is that considered Hope, Change, or both?

When I peeled the sticker off of my Together We Thrive Slurpee Cup, it had a sticker underneath that read "Chicago Olympics 2016". And my Back-Of-The-Car keychain has a PLA army knife attachment.

#12 The way I understand it she opened her eyes after Obama touched her.
