What a great gift to the families of those who were lost on that flight. Not to leave the assembled family members in that emotional state, he generously at the end perks up the crowd a little bit by vowing to work with House Speaker John Boehner to raise the $10 Million needed to finish that memorial.

I voted for him in '92; campaigned against him in '96, and never once underestimated him. Even with all his well publicized troubles, it was no accident he left office with the highest approval rating of any president since the 2nd World War.

Here's his masterful speech from the fields of Pennsylvania
