Youth
Quote
He had been that young once, that sure of himself and his ability to remake the world in the shape he chose. And it had been true, within bounds. It seemed like something that had happened to someone else, except when it seemed like it had all happened a week before.

On challenges

But I’ve always thought — tests are a gift. And great tests are a great gift. To fail the test is a misfortune. But to refuse the test is to refuse the gift, and something worse, more irrevocable, than misfortune.

Obama supports the use of the singular “they”
Quote
While in Florida, Obama is trying to refocus the debate on Medicare, a topic that resonates with Florida’s large senior population. He said: “No American should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies.” Grammar nerds may wince at his use of “their” (it should be “his or her” given the singular subject) but if he can convince enough people that the Paul Ryan’s plan to turn Medicare into a voucher program is a bad idea, it could be enough to swing Florida. Without Florida, Romney has no chance of winning the election.

Obama supports the use of the singular they! I may have to vote for him after all.
