and I was proud to support him from the very beginning of his political career

because from the first time I met him I knew him as the most extraordinary candidate for public service I had ever known

I had known politicians from state representatives to the president but I had never met anybody who matched my ideals about what a public servant should be

none before had the mix of passion, intelligence, commitment and idealism that as a public servant I thought they should have and that obama did

and nor have I met anybody since

I love this message. It’s positive for a change. Not talking about differences or what the other guy is doing. It’s focused on all the right things to talk about and it’s a strong personal reminder of why I like Obama (and Mr. Lessig!) so much, independent of any campaign for office.
