I like the fact that he enunciates enough, and speaks slowly enough for older folks to hear and understand -- and appreciate that he's doing that for us! The fact that what he says rings true is a sweet gift, topping off what he promises to do to help Obama --and us. Thanks!

...and he took the time to respond to my personal Tweet last weekend over messages on our Tweeter accounts, as did his brother Joaquin over FB, (to thank me for my military service 2-3 mos. back). These guys are truly down to earth...and he's going far! Gracias, Alcalde Castro!!!

This is AWESOME !! I had the opportunity to speak with Mayor Castro at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin last year. This guy is a real person. His oratory skills are top of the line and he spoke through a range of issues that were topics of the day. His ideas and pragmatism were well received here in Austin, from the Mayor of one of our sister cities, San Antonio.
