It's a long time since I have seen a more dignified human being in public. Most of my former 'swoons' who are people I only know from TV or the newspapers have let me down over a period of time and I had to admit it isn't worthwhile considering anyone on the public eye, be they actors, politicians, entertainers etc. etc. worthy of admiration, often adulation - sooner or later they let you down.
Not so with the present American president, Mr Obama. He is a most extraordinary human being and he is proof that we are all he same under skin, some black, some white, some brindle and we can all be dignified human beings, given the right parenting; although the task he has tackled proved to be difficult, almost impossible. It isn' easy being the figure head of an empire that has lost its way - just IMO - he tried, very hard and graciously and he is probably a disappointed man - he certainly aged beyond what is normal in those 8 years of his presidency.
If Hillary Clinton gets to be the next president, she will need a huge pot of magic potion to free the U.S.A. from its deluded thinking and acting out in the world theatre.

We all have different definitions of "failures" and "disappointments" I guess.
