I didn't always agree with his policies while he was in office, mainly with his letting Wall Street get away with trashing the US economy and especially the mortgage market, but, man, can he speechify and uplift the audience, including me! He needs to get out on the campaign trail this year and inspire Democrats to vote, vote, vote!
