2. I think you're right. He's so far ahead of these people, he left

3. What's even better is that he isn't talking to them, he's talking to Us!!

4. Patrice, that has to be the line of the night! thank you for your concession!

We all need some of your humility ... well, not me, as I am perfect. :)

5. I love the fact that he doesn't BS us.

Great answers on race, stem cells, and the two state solution.

He may have been playing his hand a close to his chest on currency and China, but that didn't stop him from actually describing his approach to the world economy.

6. He knows that the people that are watching are smarter than

most of the press. Everyone who doesn't care is off eating dinner and waiting for American Idol or something.

9. Actually . . . I'm not all that humble, just realistic. And I believe that it's all about

the big picture and being active within your own context.
