But in all seriousness, this incident showed the person, the individual, the leader, that Americans elected for another 4 years. A down-to-earth ruler who cares for his fellow man.

Really? Two situations for you and a moral dliema. A man working for himself on a farm has done nothing wrong, pays his taxes to a lord and obeys the law of the land. The lord comes along and dispossesses the man of his property and gives it to a french national. We'll say this is feudal Britain. In another place, a French national appears on the farm of a farmer and dispossesses the farmer of his property. No lord is present, but the action is being taken because the lord over this territory condoned the activity. In yet a third place, a band of thieves bessets a farmer who is then rescued by the lord of his territory. The farm after all provides tax revenue and this cannot be allowed. Which situation shows caring? None of them. All three situations are identical. A thief attacks a farmer. Given the right circumstance, the last tale can be painted as an act of mercy and caring. The point? you ask.. Interesting how a wrong is a wrong until it's your own lord doing or allowing to be done..
