Well, okay, it was a magical cab ride but what's the difference?

I still can't quite believe this happened today
I hailed a cab, and when one pulled over, the driver and I recognized each other. He's driven me before, and we always talked politics - he's from Ethiopia, a naturalized citizen, and he voted for Obama, hates ****face.
He patted the front seat, so I got in and sat beside him. We shook hands and were just delighted to see each other, the first time since the election.
Then he put his finger to his lips and said "Shhhhhhhh."
He turned up the radio.
It was President Obama's town meeting in Florida earlier today.
We rode, both of us silent, listening to our President carry on his town meeting.
We didn't speak until it was over, probably twenty minutes. Not a word.
A man from the other side of the world and a woman from America were listening to the President of the United States.
It wasn't a declaration of war, we hadn't been attacked, no national tragedy had befallen us. It was just our President, talking to people.
I still can't believe I took that magical cab ride today.

Bouncy.
I never sit in the front seat with a cab driver.

I did. My brother and his pit bull were in the backseat

the driver was very polite

Plain to see he's learned how to get gummint benefits and liberal nookie.
