You have made our nation proud by your example and your true concern and advocacy for equal rights. It is heart warming to hear the Head of State so decisively uphold the Proclamation of Independence of 1916 that all the children of the nation shall be cherished equally.
You have been an exemplary President and we will miss you.
This truly got me choked-up. Best 2-minutes of my day (so far). Can you ever imagine the day an American politician would speak so beautifully? With love, from all the NYC gay activists and advocates.
@Stelloe I think you need to go back and read what EugLoven wrote... it was not saying that President McAleese was an American Politician, but asked if you could imagine an American Politician saying something like that.
@Stelloe Yes. I know she's the President of Ireland. That's why I used the words "can" and "would"... (because the likelihood an American politician emulated McAleese's eloquence in speech is something I'm not going to hold my breath for).
@karenconneely Yes. I know she's the President of Ireland. That's why I used the words "can" and "would"... (because the likelihood an American politician emulated McAleese's eloquence in speech is something I'm not going to hold my breath for). PS: You're the second person to leave a comment like that... is it really that difficult to understand my intent and grammar?
Michael D. Higgins will do an amazing job if he is any bit of the president McAleese was. It was an honour the day I met her.

Madam President,
You have made our nation proud by your example and your true concern and advocacy for equal rights. It is heart warming to hear the Head of State so decisively uphold the Proclamation of Independence of 1916 that all the children of the nation shall be cherished equally.
You have been an exemplary President and we will miss you.

What is it with Americans? They are like the person you meet at a party who always steers the conversation towards them, regardless of the topic.
