Good post--I agree with you (and bet a lot of people who read your post do, too).
The past couple of months have not been good for the President (one disaster after another, for example) and I'm not sure why there hasn't been a more aggressive response to the attacks.
Maybe we all need to really start praying for him, even harder.
You can see it in his face... and the way he carries himself now. I keep thinking of Lincoln... and how he aged so quickly with the tremendous burden placed upon him.
