Opinion of Barack Obama

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Odds are there will never be another presidential candidate, or even political candidate period in my lifetime who'll mean as much to me as him and his campaigns did. I remember in 2012 driving to the DFL victory party in St. Paul. The polls running up to the day, the exit polls, and early results all indicated that it was quite obvious he was going to be re-elected. I was elated and yet on the drive was actually tearing up a little realizing this was the last time I was going to get to vote for Obama and the last of his campaigns that I was going to experience. I was 28 years old, and was 20 the first time I had heard of him. Less than a decade had passed between knowing who he was and voting for him for the final time, and yet he had made such an impact on my generation, and this is something I'm always going to remember. I've never felt anywhere near as united as I did in 2008 and 2012. Always will be a FF.
