He may be "hard to deal with" but let me provide a glimpse from yesterday which shows he has a big heart and a class act - My friend and I were sitting across the aisle from him. My friend's son (5 year old) who unfortunately has some challenges at on more than one occasion ran across the aisle sat down next to Kofi and started to hit him on his leg several times. Kofi understood and reacted with a big smile and engaged with the little boy on several occasions.
I for one am a big Kofi fan.
