Reply #6: Of course! No, he is not an angel

[question everything]

no one is, especially a politician. The nature of politicians is that they think differently of themselves than most of us, regular folks.

He is human. Had we known much about FDR or Kennedy, even Lincoln at the time, we would have criticized them, too. I wish that he kept his zipper in place once he established himself as a womanizer; I wish that he did not interrupt his NH campaign to send a mentally challenged man to his execution.

But he is someone that even now shows how he cares about the ones that society choose to ignore, or, worse, that our CEOs think that are "genetically inferior."

He returned the Democrats to the White House, he governed over national prosperity that lifted everyone, not just the wealthy, as we see now.

He at least tried to face gay's rights and health care and women's right to privacy, all, without making them a "wedge" issues either way.

Growing up poor himself, he'd never placed himself above others regardless of race, religion, or social status.

And, my weakness, he is a master of the word. Listening to him a few weeks ago at Georgetown was a celebration of intelligence, caring, and, yes, political savvy.
