Excerpt:

Hitting Andrews Air Force Base for a round of golf, President Obama and Bill Clinton this afternoon are revisiting the pastime that forged their political relationship. The two are joined by U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, according to the White House pool report. It's the third golf outing for Mr. Obama since winning re-election, and his second ever with the former president. Clinton associates have said when he received an invitation from the president to join him for a round Sept. 24, 2011, they took it as the first sign Mr. Obama was getting serious about his second bid for the White House and wanted Mr. Clinton's fabled retail campaigning skills on his side - "Why else would he spend hours on a golf course being lectured by Clinton?" the New Yorker summarized.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
