I'm not sure what words were said, but I think one of the President's finest moments was in the days after the attack on 9-11, when he went up to Ground Zero at NYC. He was standing on a stage of some sort (may have been a pile of debris) to address the nation, and one of the firefighters was up there with him. When the cameras came on, the firefighter started to get off of the stage. The President grabbed him, hugged him, and kept him up on the stage. It was a terrifically touching moment.
I also liked, at one of the Naval Academy commencement addresses, when the Anchor (the Middie that finished last) got his degree (and his commission? Is that when they get their commissions?). The kid was so happy and thrilled, and the President just enjoyed the moment. Again, not words exactly, but they show his character.

His appearance at the World Series, immediately following 9/11, still gives me goose bumps. I was simultaneously very fearful and filled with admiration.
