The cover and bindery work are very good quality. The whole book is nicely done!

To paraphrase Yeats: When I am old and grey and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, I'll take down this book, and slowly read and dream of the soft look of his eyes.

I'm not as interested in the history or memories as the art. Good art like good writing should be pleasing and entertaining, beyond the message or the subject. Souza has really achieved that. Every shot shown in the video was an entertaining composition on its own. How fortunate we are to have one of the most historically significant presidencies captured, as it happened, by a real artist.

The miracle I pray for is for Michelle Obama to become President, get a supermajority in both houses of Congress and restore beauty and sanity to our White House, our government, our country, and our world.

Short of that, I will remember how great it was to raise children during the Obama years. I love and miss them so much.
