President Obama understands women. He trusts women. And on every issue that matters to us, he stands with women.

Thanks to President Obama, being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition!

And because of President Obama, more women than ever are serving in the Cabinet and on the Supreme Court.

Under the previous regime of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, I was detained. So was my wife, Serkalem Fasil. She gave birth to our son in prison in 2005.

I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
