You said it all. The most memorable line for me is “She’s in the arena and we can’t leave her in there alone.” Brought tears to my eyes – a very moving call for action when she has been beaten up by the press.

I was struck by that too. Typically for him, it’s easy to understand and affecting but actually pretty subtle. He presents her as a champion, fighting alone for us, but also as a person you can and should help, because that’s possible too. It’s a twofer.
Also “Can I vent?” Had to grin at that one. After eight years of withholding his full emotions, it’s like he’s saying, “OK, finally here’s what I really think.” You know how Trump is always saying “Believe me” or “It’s true” and you never do? Obama’s a billion times better at sounding like he means a thing. If we lived another hundred years we might not see a more gifted communicator.
