I miss him. I miss him doing "Meet the Press". He was very emotional about Obama and this historic moment. He said on air how happy he was for inner city kids seeing this moment in time.

He did so much good work in the world outside of his work on NBC. He showed a passion about politics and enthusiasm that was contagious for others. His funeral showed the tremendously strong amount of love and care and respect he fostered in his lifetime.
He was a good man, whether you agree with him or not, he brought good to this world. For that, I applaud him.
I wish he were here to see Obama get elected. He told Brian Williams that on "Meet the Press" people always dodge questions. When he asked Obama if he was going to run for president and Obama said yes, it floored Tim. He really believed that Obama was an authentic person and he respected that.
I have missed his coverage, he was very excited about this election. It would have been fun to see the joy in him covering all this.
