Last night, as our little corner of the world began to get the dusting that ended up as a foot of snow, I watched our president’s farewell address.
As with just about every time he is in front of the camera, President Obama projected calm leadership. His words were intelligent, well thought-out, organized, consistent, and coherent; his manner was poised, his disposition kind and grateful. Though not contentious, he expressed ongoing dedication to the causes he has espoused as president, and has lived throughout his life.
To say he was presidential would be an understatement; he was much more than that. Many presidents embody some of the qualities President Obama has displayed in the last eight years; few, if any embody them all. And all of them will be missed.
