I -- I do believe that he's been measured, and it's been interesting to see him evolve on his -- his willingness to engage on this issue over the eight years that he's been in office. But I do think we have to take it out of him and remember that it's bigger than him, remember that it is systems we're talking about and not necessarily about people."
