Among the qualities about which I’m proudest:

Easy-going; laid-back; open-minded; and a borderline-fanatic of cultures, languages, and cuisines different from that of just the "good old US of A."

After somehow surviving what, in my oh-so-humble opinion were the worst eight years in US political history, despite his never-ending desire to continue pursuing a commitment to partisan politics (i.e., giving way too much voice to the right-wing of America), I have not ENTIRELY given up on President Obama helping us regain the respect we have long had from our allies around the world.
