2. I also like the fact that Obama didn't call him "little feller" and talk down to him...

...like SOME former presidents might have.

6. I liked that he said that obama was a regular person.

That's the big difference for me.... Obama "gets it" and comes from humble beginnings. He can relate to real people.

7. I love that President Obama relates to young people, they definitely need more of a voice. nt
