      Right, I know nothing of his politics but I remember him being fucking hype to run this country. I was too young to vote then, but he would have had mine. Mother fucker was excited.

        Same, I was middleschool/high school then and even then I thought it was weird seeing someone basically get shunned because he was excited for a job that traditionally was very reserved, ESPECIALLY after the war on terror issues. He was excited to try to help lol
