...as President. He has been relentless in doing what was right and/or necessary...even when it was unpopular. Even when it was too nuanced for some Americans to understand. Even when the very people he tried to help, blocked his efforts.
He has been an EXCELLENT President. I hope his great work will be recognized and valued in time.
