"It was the longest 40 minutes of my life...
...with the possible exception of when Sasha got meningitis when she was three months old, and I was waiting for the doctor to tell me that she was all right."

To me one of the most powerful moments of the interview.

I've always liked the "dad" side of Obama. At one point during the campaign some teenage girls came up to him and the first thing he said was, "where are your shoes?"

1. Intelligent leader.
No ego problems - happy to listen to all points of view, and appreciates the negative ones that serve to refine.
