And just a personal note: I had heard of the wonderful reputation of President Napolitano as somebody who has the admiration of the Italian people because of not only his longstanding service but also his integrity and his graciousness. And I just want to confirm that everything about him that I had heard is true. He's an extraordinary gentleman, a great leader of this country, and the fact that he has been such a gracious host is something that we all greatly appreciate.
So thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership. Thanks to the people of Italy for your great friendship to the United States. (Applause.)
For Judge Napolitano, this was an outrage because Pres. Napolitano had been a Communist from 1945 to 1991. I guess you can't even tell a former Communist that he's been gracious because that somehow amounts to supporting Stalin.
