A father's proud moment...my 10 year old son said after the debate that "the President kicked butt, Dad". Then I asked him what did he like about him...he said "he reminds me of you, Dad"....to me...that was the best compliment I ever received in my life!
Raise his allowance. :^)
That's really touching. A really high compliment because it's so tough being a parent.
I've said before, and polls bear me out, that the President is the one you can count on in case of a neighbor's house on fire, if your car stalls or gets stuck in the snow, or that you want to invite to your bbq. People are drawn to him because he has that loving, caring quality.
Yesterday evening I was reading "God and George W Bush: A Spiritual Life" for the first time. There's a quote in there from Bush's 1994 Texas campaign manager Brian Berry that's very telling:
"The guy really loves people. I mean it. He is not just very personable, kind, and gentle, but is also a handholding kind of guy. He literally will hold your hand while he chats with you."
