Especially in the last few minutes when he spoke to the students. I am filled with so many mixed emotions -- not just more hopeful due to the optimism that he expressed that people can make the country better. Oddly, more than almost anything in the last 4 years or 12 and a half years - I wish this exceptional, good, brilliant man could have been our President.

It does make me realize that his Kerry scholars project at Yale is an amazing gift to the world. I love that for a very elite group of students, he will be someone who helps them refine their own view of how to serve the world. I hope that his combination of passion and optimism that good solutions can be found informs some of the Yale students and that they join others as leaders of the future.
