I've watched that video at least 4 times in the past hour. That's my President! So much respect for him and what he set out to do.

So sincere, loving, and appreciative with his staff. It takes a really strong and confident man to exhibit his true feelings so openly. I am in awe of our President.

If that video lives on, people will have a hard time believing that was shot after his election in 2012 and not before 2008.

It wasn't a "speech" and conversation was the best I could come up with.

They're all post computer age.

These are the people who produced all of his ads. All of them were first rate edits both in audio and video. all done with software but studio quality and ranging from heart tugging to hilarious. These were the people on the ground using gps and tracking a canvassing in real time.

These people didn't do it for the money.

This was a labor of love.

This was so amazing. So heartfelt and in the moment. I had to send it to my son, whose girlfriend worked for the Obama Campaign in Philadelphia. I don't think the Prez will get to speak at every campaign office to thank the staff at each, but I know his words will resonate with them. God bless you, Mr. President.
