I sympathized with Obama telling the Trib on how he's reaching his limit with people pulling him aside in public spots for pictures and things.
I see Dick Durbin often at O'Hare and he's totally ignored. I've stopped and shook his hand and just told him a word or two on issues of the day. Durbin always thanks me. Always asks where I live.
