Quote of the Day

In my first meeting with him, President Obama welcomed me, made me feel comfortable, and asked me what I thought.  As my time there went on, I came to appreciate that he didn't ask people what they thought because he wanted to be nice, although he is, or because he wanted the women to feel included, although he did.  He asked people what they thought because he wanted to know what they thought.
