Very true, catspaw; I can only image our President, when told, had tears; his stomach must be in knots.....what with all he has to lead us through......what a responsibility his Presidency has been....I'm sure much more than he or any of us could have ever imagined......I remember when the Challenger exploded.....this is just as shocking and tragic....
We all have a breaking point and I think I will reach mine with the first person who dares to criticize our president right now. He has indeed been handed burdens of responsibility that most of us could never even imagine. Whether we agree with him on matters of policy or not, there are times that every American needs to stand behind the president and to challenge head on those who do not.
