.... that line was so spot on it needed to be repeated.

Seriously, I believe it was Valerie Jarret who said, in the almost 15 years she's known him, has never even heard him yell.

As he wrote in his book (that at least you and I have read lol) his candidacy was a blank slate for everyone project their hopes and dreams onto. This can be a good thing, but unless we truly understand the man we are making demands on, we may be setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Practically everything the man has touched in his life has turned to gold ..... call me a cheerleader if you like, but I'm afraid my threshold of doubt in him is a bit higher than the one I might have in the average bear. If anyone has a problem with that, then need to find me someone who can do it better.

This cheerleader has NEVER been a fan of armchair quaterbacks.
