Bill let's go - Obama called from Air Force One

But Bill again, was taking his time. He can't help it

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article105241976.html

Still I remember, the last time Air Force One left a funeral in Israel, that of Itzhak Rabin, it was then Clinton's "plan." And Newt Gingrich was offended that he did not get to sit at the cockpit (or close enough) so he shut the government down. In 1995. Which let to a White House intern bringing a pizza to the president..

This President. Doubtful I will ever see another one like him in that office during whatever time is left in my life.

Thank you Sir for all that you have done!

...and that is great.

But...

The level of comfort he has provided with his rational / pragmatic / balanced leadership even though republicans have the majority in both chambers is going to be missed terribly.

Would have been interesting to see who, or what, kept him schmoozing and hugging while Obama called him
