7. My first thought on seeing this was that he was wrestling with a decision
and Michelle told him to go and see what the consequences looked like. I have no idea why that occurred to me.

End the wars Mr President, it's past time. Then bring the criminals to justice

8. I thought the same thing.
He is struggling with this decision. He wants to make sure he is doing the right thing.
