***Sometimes I wonder how in the world our President and VP and others at that level live with the intensity and emotion they must deal with in their lives.***
I wonder about that, too. I would guess having many good friends to share the anger or the injustice helps a great deal. And I'm sure that the President and the Vice President have MANY good friends. But it doesn't hurt if we email them and just say how much we appreciate what they're doing.
Yes, they have good friends, I'm sure. I think you would have to have someone who was a complete confidante. You still couldn't share many things because of security. I suspect they have to work very hard to stay on an even keel.
I also have a feeling that's part of the reason for the obvious closeness between W and Dick Cheney. Maybe they can share some things with each other that no else can really share with them.
