Good evening, everyone. Thank you for braving the elements and joining us this evening. Of thee president Massachusetts Historical Society. As our members and regular attendees know [laughter] that is wonderful, i have not done anything yet. Provide workshops, run National History day, convene academic seminars and mount exhibitions. More than anything, what we do is hold an amazing collection of almost 14 million items, and we provided to historians and researchers for free.

And they believe it because they know i would not take my eye off of the goal, Osama Bin Laden. Unfortunately, he escaped in the mountains of tora bora. We had him surrounded. But we didnt use American Forces, the best trained in the world, to go kill him. The president relied on afghan warlords and he outsourced that job too. Thats wrong.
