Eloquence is a good word. His delivery is calm and yet he brings the message of importance. He, his wife and family are so missed..eight years went by so fast for me...maybe not them!

It was just amazing...as his speeches always are. He has such an ease of connecting to people. So natural.

nice as could be. you could tell he genuinely loved people.
had a friend who needed help when he was in the senate. both he and durbin did what they could. but she said he rly went above and beyond. she wouldnt say what, exactly, but i can guess.

Hard to believe we went from him to that bloated, orange pig that disgraced our White House for four years.
