Pretty much with that other guy, too.

And, some day, President Obama will be an elder with the weight of history on his shoulders. I thank him now for what he represents now, and what he will represent then.

Two great and brave men. There is so much meaning in this picture. How can anyone not see it, feel it, know it.

How hard are the hearts of those who deny it?
