Adore listening to David Axelrod, not only for his very intelligent words and the way he frames them, but also his voice.

That segment about the affordable care act tells you everything you need to know about Obama. The steely resolve. The empathy he has for people. That's what made him the best President in US history. Ok. Now I'll wait for the Obama haters to say something untrue and irrelevant.
