Normal, intelligent, articulate and approachable. Not someone who has to put on false airs (let alone hair or skin tone) to try to impress people. He let his mind and his word impress us, which for me at least, they did.

I liked it, a lot.

I've grown to dislike ties since Trump took office, but I actually think it's just the falseness of all of Trump's facade I dislike and have been associating with them. I didn't realize this until I saw Obama being genuine tonight.
