I knew it would be the last opportunity I would have to cast a vote for them. And despite the fact he has supported some things I did not, I believe he has done a horrendously wonderful job these last eight years in the face of all the adversity thrown at him by the Republicans. He maintained his dignity and at some times relieved the situation with humor. He is a remarkable man, and his wife and family are beautiful. Overall, this family has represented this Country very well, and I will be sorry to see them go.
