The Daily Teaser — 4-11-2013: Mr President

It has to be said, my nephew can’t half snore, for someone that small … !

Bless, I was over my Mum’s place, yesterday, for the usual Sunday dinner: and Ruth (Jude’s mother) and Jude himself, were in the car.

Bless him, he does manage to fall asleep.

And managed  to stay asleep, when we got him in.

Well … for about half an hour, anyway.

Which was something.   My left arm was going dead, under there … !

Hmmm … 

Let’s get a move on, shall we?   Before I tell you about the rest of the evening* … 

~≈Ê≈~

Yesterday’s Teaser saw both Debbi† and Kevin putting in their answers: along with Debbi telling us she’d got the email, and Kevin‡ having to pass answers through me, the day saw both of them scoring five out of five.

Let’s see how they — and you — do with today’s Presidential questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the ‘How To,’ license and video …

I’ll leave you with this thought from President Obama …

“But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes we can.”

Barack Obama.

And with possibly the only song one COULD use, when Mr Obama’s the focus of the day … 

Have a good day …

‡         I THINK I’m on to a method for commenting via iOS devices, Kevin.
