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.
