“A visionary leader with a clear sense of what is right and just, an unconventional politician with a reputation that has never been tainted with corruption, and, most importantly, a former student leader without any political pedigree who, by sheer idealism and hardwork, has managed to become an accomplished lawyer, a brilliant legislator, an exceptional cabinet member and the best President this country never had.”
