[Hattie]

You know what really stands out? His apology. IMO, he owed no apology. He took the blame on himself. He did it with sincerity and humility. I think that was the most effecting moment. A politician does not usually take responsibility. Certainly when not personally at fault....

Yes, he did what was best for the country, not what was best for himself or even for the party.

Yes, he did what was best for the country, not what was best for himself or even for the party.

Yes. His apology was graceful and meaningful. And hurtful, a bit, to all of us who understand that he is taking something upon his shoulders that he did not earn.

Which, in the end, makes him a great leader.

He does know what is best for our nation, and if the liberals want to continue blaming it all upon him, let them, they are not and have never been honorable people and will never take the hard look at what happened at the state and local levels.

So be it.

Our President wanted the suffering people to know that he will take their blame and he will turn it into something resembling a better life for them, in the end.
