15. It was an amazing conversation

And very real.

I listened to it yesterday.

Much of it revolved around how much of governing is like middle management - there are so many moving pieces and details that people never think about.

Most people are only going to hear about the n-word being uttered. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it does help further the conversation about race relations in America.

I would vote for Obama again - and again if I could. There are areas where I disagree with him, but overall I have to give him a big thumbs up for governing well during a very difficult period in our nation's history.

He makes me proud of my country, as corny as that sounds. In the face of so much adversity, he rises above the pettiness. His is an uniquely American story.
