Newt Minow was a dear friend, mentor and early supporter of mine. He also embodied the ideal of public service – helping launch the satellites that made nationwide broadcasts possible, cementing presidential debates as a national institution, helping usher in public television, and reminding the media of its obligation to foster a well-informed citizenry. I will always owe a great debt to Newt, most of all because he helped introduce me to Michelle when we were both young lawyers in Chicago. We will miss him dearly, just as we miss his beloved wife, Jo, who passed away last year, and send our love and thoughts to their family.

@Ralph_Hapschatt @BarackObama He is paying respect to a friend- maybe not the time to bring up other issues..?
@Ralph_Hapschatt @BarackObama "Hey Dude" most of the ppl here love the English and you be treated like any welcome guest. You guys were super nice to my family when they visited England.
@Ralph_Hapschatt @BarackObama Yes. I agree with you very much. Do you have any good solution for this matter?
@Ralph_Hapschatt @BarackObama "As long as you are White" Donald Trump, probably
