I missed the very beginning of the speech, & no one on the tube is mentioning it, and I don't know where else to ask: where is she?

She probably has school tomorrow, but I bet they'd have given her a pass for the day.

I it's none of my business and everything; I was just wondering if some public statement had been made ....

What a great speech! We've had a President who was so good for the last 8 years. How can we sink so low for the next 8?
Here's a link to the farewell speech:

Thanks, Acme. I was afraid the response was going to be, Didn't you see her? She was sitting right behind her mother! The official story seems to be that she has an exam tomorrow morning ... !

Yes, tremendous speech. The contrast is mind-boggling.

My wife and I spent the evening watching Obama farewell videos, sometimes in tears. The Oprah Winfrey interview of Michelle was very good. There was an interview of Michelle and Barack by People Magazine was was pretty good. Oh, and now I find a final interview by National Public Radio. Oh, and here's the farewell Christmas Message, complete with the requisite dumb Barack jokes. The Barack-Michelle banter on his dumb jokes has been fun these eight years.

I hope America gets their message.

I spent the last few days writing a half-year grant report to pay a community organizer who works in our name to organize Hispanics in our community, people just trying to survive. How do we give these gentle people hope, in the face of the coming President?

It's hard. The NPR interview is particularly thoughtful. Take a listen.

Certainly an excellent speech. To draw back from the detail to look at overall principles and goals occasionally is essential, and this is a great example. I hope the incoming government has a view that, like this speech, goes beyond simple profit and loss accounts into a vision of what a good life for the citizens looks like. I can't say I am too confident but would be pleased to be wrong.

Hitler lasted 12. And it's very unlikely the constitution will still require the emperor to face re-election by the time 8 years is up.

I think Trump is quite likely to have an accident, he is too much of a loose cannon , will he bow to the multinationals will he be a good puppet?.
The CIA are full of tricks.

The answer is apparently she was at home revising for a school test the following day.   Contrast Flump dragging his obviously tired son out for cameras.

Kind of a shame the kid missed it - seemed like a real family moment. That's why I was wondering.
