How to use by-and-by in a sentence?
To me, it's a recognition that when a country has men and women at war who are dying -- like we do have people dying, still, in Afghanistan -- and not recognize that by going and by looking and asking questions and being part of that personally, rather than just getting reports in the morning or in the afternoon, that's a misstep, but I think it's bigger than just a misstep. I think it's a failure of an obligation -- of a basic obligation of a commander in chief. He's commander in chief of our forces and not to go to a war zone where we have men and women dying, that's just wrong.

Gregory Cheadle , of California:
I'm just sick and tired of the way blacks and other people of color have been treated by this administration and by the GOP.
People are not going to sit in that thing for six hours during a (tornado) watch, and by the time a warning is out, its too late, i think the answer is in-home shelters.
There's a lot of things we need to restore, this President -- and by the way his former secretary of state -- have let us down in this regard.
