1. makes you wonder how the crazy wingers can vilify this man

I do not agree with all his policies, but what a truly great human being.
It is such a shame how he is portrayed.
He is literally a person to emulate, yet much of the country never ever sees this side of him.

3. It always brightens my day to see pictures of the President with people who revere him

The McCain alternative would have been an absolute nightmare for us all.

6. The historical symbolism here is fantastic. From Booker to Obama.

That he agreed to be the speaker at this school is wonderful.
