I am so very proud he came on our scene and has done himself so proud as to go down as of one of the best Presidents we have had. I'm especially loving him today for intervening about the pipeline. So very grateful and appreciative. I'd like to put my coat down on a puddle so he can walk across.

About his color: I have walked by my TV many times and the thought popped in: Eh, have you had a long weekend in the sun???? And then I do a face palm.
It's like with my friends who have different pigment, we are all who we are and look how we look and it's how we act towards each other that makes us be separate.

He reminds me of that movie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels when Michael Caine is training Steve Martin how to dress and behave like a European gentleman/gigolo. He did that casual lean onto the doorway while holding a martini or aperitif or something.

After all he's been through, for us, and he can still look like that.

I want to hug that man's neck.

Couldn't afford it during the campaigns, but if he teaches Sunday school, like Jimmy, I, an atheist, would attend in order to have the opportunity to hug his neck.

I'd rather attend a lecture on the Constitution, though.... ;->

The look of confidence while being so incredibly casual - a man who is truly comfortable in his own skin.

I've been fortunate enough to meet a lot of amazing people that I have long admired, like Jennifer Granholm, John Kerry, Max Cleland and Al Gore, but meeting Barack Obama would be the apex experience.

There's not that many reasons, or avenues, that one gets in his position.

Connections help, but I don't think he started out with any.

Smarts, education, motivation, developing connections. That's a lot of work.

Motivation - me or we? Well, I do still think he's a corporatist, and I can see how he (I assume) found it necessary, whether I agree or not.

But do I think he's basically for we the people? Well, duh.

Am I grateful? Well, duh.
