"I’ve noticed something about President Obama…..when everyone else is biting their nails, and he knows he’s done everything he can, and is waiting for the right moment, he leaves the White House and does something productive by giving to others. He does not sit around worrying or feeling sorry for himself, or increasing angst….he gets out and works. He is amazing. He’s gone to Martha’s Table before during such times…..can’t think of exactly when, others will remember probably, but this is a constructive, healthy pattern of his. Amazing."
