GQ

Read the interview here

If Clinton acted like someone who ran Capitol Records, Obama—both the person and the president—carries himself like Roger Federer, a merciless competitor who keeps coming and coming, only there’s a serenity about him that disarms just about everyone. At one point during the hour I spent interviewing him at the White House this fall, he casually compared himself to Aaron Rodgers, and he wasn’t bragging. Obama identified with Rodgers’s ability to keep his focus downfield despite all the chaos happening in front of him. That’s Obama’s enduring quality, and (to borrow another sports term) this has been his “career year.”

Yes, I am going to miss him as well. Geez, he is so young there. That must have been from the 2004 Key Note speech. He caught my eye that night.

He has a lot of irons in the fire, ongoing presidential challenges, and an election to win.

2016 could be his best year yet.

Then he can "retire"!

we keep something like this in the BOG at DU because .. you know.. TPP or what the hell the latest whine is on DU. But it has nothing to do with the real world.

The world of GD has become frightening. Geez they hate PBO and HRC, Dems are being tossed under the bus right and left. No wonder we lose elections.

Hugs sweetie.
