I like to think I have integrity. In fact I know I do. I just realize there is no way I could do what he has done with the level of integrity that he has demonstrated. This choice is so damn obvious to me now. It is so obvious that I am afraid that if we do not seize it we may never get this chance again. The post that he is special is an understatement. He is a once in a lifetime leader.
