It goes much deeper than someone just holding an office...he represents freedom..equality...fairness....respect....worth..
thoughtfulness....honor...pride
Unity....for me he is my President and its more than just an idea or an office .....
he is the very fiber
of what this country
stands for and means to me....
He represents what people fought and died for
Yes I truly love and respect him....
He indeed is MY PRESIDENT...
