America's new president gave an address to a joint session of Congress. The Los Angeles Times posted a full transcript of the speech (along with remarks from its staff that may require Javascript to view); Bloomberg uploaded a video of the event.
The New York Times called it "the most presidential speech Mr. Trump has ever given — delivered at precisely the moment he needed to project sobriety, seriousness of purpose and self-discipline."

This is not a political story. It's a heartwarming story about how an elderly man got the chance to read an inspirational prepared speech to Congress.

How come nobody marked that comment as the work of a "troll"? Biased jerks.

... because "Funny" or sadly, "Informative " would be more proper?

The problem with getting marked "Troll" is that your comment is likely to be hidden. That's not OK.

My posts are routinely modded down, then modded back up by people who think I have good points. Deal with it, if you don't have enough people that care to mod you up then maybe the problem isn't with everyone else...

The only question that remains is which member of the Obama family wrote it?
