He isn't just an optimist.
He is a classy optimist and he just hovers about 6 feet above the competition.

Showed a lot of class. Put the lie to his own detractors. Not that they'll appreciate it...
I quit watching commentaries on his speeches. I heard it myself, thank you guys, and I don't need to be told what it meant. I certainly don't enjoy listening to the way his words are so often twisted.
