Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America.
He didn't blame Bush.
He didn't blame Reagan.
He just consoled America.
A REAL Commander in Chief.

Music, Community, & Change
In uncertain times, music remains a powerful force for unity and serves as bastion of hope and joy. As a conductor, I see firsthand how voices raised together can heal, inspire and mobilize. Music carries the heartbeat of change. (1/2)

A breathtakingly beautiful concert! The spoken word text by Regie Gibson was very powerful, and the musical performances were enthralling. A knock-out!

While taking a stroll, former U.S. President Barack Obama happened to hear the enchanting voices of a Danish girls’ choir practicing with their balcony doors open. Captivated, he kindly stopped and asked if they could continue singing, taking a moment to enjoy the beautiful harmony
