takes great cool to do that, I know.

Hell, my cell ringer is him singing Al Green

I doubt I could even croak out a single bar! Then again I am shy in crowds, the POTUS on the other hand has that total Command Performance thing going on...like a few extra layers of charisma.

What Al Green song is he singing?

Now I want to hear him sing the whole thing! Thanks for that wendylaroux!

the man sounds so good.

He IS an amazingly graceful man.

At age 75 I've seen a few presidents come and go and he stands out (profoundly) from all of them!

I haven't seen quite as many, but the does stand out profoundly. Even from the start.

Very well put.

He's been impressive so often.

He is an amazing man, and so sorely needed after Bush/Cheney.

I kinda feel sorry for the bigots, all hunkered in their corners and snarling.

" He and Biden are just the opposite of Bush and Cheney...just think how far we've come since those two clowns did everything in their power to destroy the country....."

He is so grounded in his own identity, and his composure is amazing.

This is an important part of US history! He faced down the last vestiges of Southern Tyranny and racial injustice! Historic!

it tears me up inside and out.

got chills all over my body! I am so proud of our President, and he sets a remarkably hight standard for Presidents to come.

Lump in throat.

I wish I could write like some of our epic DU writers, but that came straight from the heart. I will always hold those two men and their families dear and close to my heart. I just wish I would have given him more of a chance in his first term, that is my loss for not being objective and letting the BP disaster turn me off to his presidency.

Everyone in the BOG was right from the very first day of his first term in office - we were watching the makings of a truly exceptional president.

not coming around to Gay Marriage fast enough but he did and look where we are now!

I think a lot of us wish we would have figured certain things out sooner but the important thing is that we did!

It's just really delightful to read someone who actually did come around to seeing the whole forest and appreciate it fully!

I think you write well..

Truly amazing. He just blew me away today.

I believe you have a lot of grace yourself, Rex.

Thank you for your words.
