Reggie Love is a unique witness to history, whose introduction to Washington was working in Junior Senator Barack Obama’s mailroom. As “body man” to Obama during his first presidential campaign, Love’s job was to stay one step behind the candidate, but think and act three steps ahead during a typical eighteen-hour workday. As President Obama’s personal aide during that momentous first term, Love sat yards from the Oval Office and often spent more time with the President than anyone else. While his experiences were unique, the lessons he learned during his tenure with the President are universal. Persistence. Responsibility. Passion for a cause greater than yourself. In short, maturity.

Love has been singularly lucky in his mentors. At Duke University, where he was a walk-on and a captain of its fabled basketball team, Love learned from Coach Krzyzewski that sports builds character—from President Obama, Love learned that how you conduct your life defines your character. - See more at: http://books.simonandschuster.com/Power-Forward/Reggie-Love/9781476763347#sthash.BS6YXew3.dpuf

Wow, read this one more time.

Bravo Reggie.

For the BOG. Our time is short, his term will end far sooner than I wish. He is a thoughtful man, he has a depth and a quite speech. He is a man of integrity that wrestles with his soul to come up with the right answers.

One last time...

Persistence. Responsibility. Passion for a cause greater than yourself. In short, maturity.

BOG, our time is limited here. Our respect of this President is not. He is no lame duck. He has the cards in his hands and a veto pen as well. The new majority is a freaking mess. They have no clue how to govern.

Eyes open people, is't not over.
