11. I remember seeing him on TV, again, pausing just before walking to his
place and I was wondering what he was thinking, something like: this is it. I hope you know what you are doing.

8. He just exudes "Presidential"
Dubya only managed that once, and it was by accident! :rofl:

12. Agree. These were my thoughts when he appeared on TV
right after Bush went out, when his name was called.

14. oh, yes.
Even watching him on TV as we walked across that threshold, I got the sense, "It's really hit him".
Godspeed, Barack.

Notice his trip director (Marvin, far right) and personal aide (just left of Marvin). I'd give big money to know what they were talking about ..

17. I've seen him do that many times and always just before going on
I believe he does it to center himself and to ground himself. He knows what to do to keep a clear head and a normal sized head.
