Barack and i were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your one, that you do what you say you are going to do.

That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They showed me values in more of the daily life. That is a lesson that i continue to pass along to our son.
