Especially his passionate answer on the issue of the New York mosque.

He could not have been clearer on where he stands, especially when he strongly reminded the country that Muslim-Americans are our neighbors and friends, and are also in military uniform putting their lives on the line for the country everyday. I can't do his answer justice here, but what an amazing response he gave. No one could accuse him of being dispassionate on that!

Also loved his answer on the MidEast peace process, where he said he is encouraging Netanyahu and Abbas to think about how they can make each win -- not how they can make each other fail.

Just excellent.
