"Validation", she~

From your link..

"But Barack Obama was a determined man, and would simply do what he needed to do for others, regardless of his own needs. Now, this woman continued, did she ever think this man would be President of the United States one day, No. But is she surprised?"

"No – because she said, that man, sitting next to her in that car, so humble and determined, is STILL THAT MAN today. I told her that was a wonderful story and thanked her for sharing it with me. If you or anyone you know, has any question about who Barack Obama is, tell them this story. Special? Barack Obama is as SPECIAL as it gets. He gets it…because HE IS IT. This fight was the right fight, and worth every moment of time and energy it took from so, so many"
