I remember feeling that he was an unknown and inexperienced.

But when he won, I realized he had a strong team and a good sense of what he had to do.

Unfortunatly, he took to long getting up and running and the GOP pounced on that from the start...

But in 2011, I think he hit a stride that will carry through to the end of his administration.
