Really, can you imagine any other President stepping into the lion's den and speaking to the lions

the way the President is doing in this Town Hall meeting?

It had to be tough decision to go where he knows most don't like or respect him and to speak with such knowledge and deference and empathy and eloquence.

I am going to miss this President.

He is articulate and compassionate and I am so glad that he is doing this. Why anyone wants to be POTUS is beyond me.

Not that satisfied that he hadn't done one of these forums before now..on his way out.

I think he did have at least two of these with the military before. I could be wrong.
