No … if people want to watch it live go ahead … if not they can read the news story.
I just thought it was a significant world news story of a fairly good person who was able to have some international influence and use it for good causes … a type of individual that we are sorely lacking in the world these days.
Thanks for that … like I mentioned to friends and associates in public and online … I thought it was just important to highlight the event as he was US President, and also most long lived US President at 100 years of age … and the fact that after his retirement, he did so much international aide organization work, either to support or to just lend his name and personality to it.
It’s becoming a rare thing to see a world leader honestly, publicly and through their own actions actually join in and take part in grass roots organizations and even get down and dirty to the point of working at an actual construction site, not just for a single photo op but on a regular basis whether cameras were rolling or not.
Tabloid magazine? … it’s more like scribbled pieces of paper written by random strangers on the sidewalk … people keep reading the crap and walk away happy that their worst beliefs have just been confirmed by 100 random strangers with scribbled pieces of paper who told them so.
