In these troubled times, never so relieved to have a calm, measured, thoughtful man in the chair.

All the deaths caused by political conflicts are almost as maddening as they are heartbreaking.

He has aged and everyday he is out there carrying that weight on his shoulders with little help. I admire the man. He can take this on his shoulders and carry it alone. So many have left the burden to him as they laugh and make sly remarks by the sideline prodding him with a sharp stick.
He is our President and I damn well have his back.

(34,393 posts)Shrub didn't age that much--more like a dissipating alcoholic. President Obama truly does have the weight of the world on his shoulders. I am so glad he is President. Could you imagine what a President McCain, Romney, or God forbid, Palin would be doing right now?
