such great respect for him, and always have. He doesn't pull any punches but above all else, he keeps it real. Every opinion of his that you posted really is spot on seen from "the outside looking in", 1SBM, especially that last part: " Bill Clinton had more permission to be Black in public than President Obama." Looking into the future, and as the first Black president of the United States, President Obama had to be the standard bearer; the first of hopefully many to come. It is an awesome responsibility but one he executed with grace and poise.

President Obama truly is the best president of my lifetime - bar none.
