There’s been a lot of screeching about Obama the past month. From the Left — “he’s a sellout” or “a corporate tool.” And from the right — “socialist” and “soft on terror” and the usual epithets conservatives reserve for people they think are liberal.

I’ve got a lot more to write about this at some point, but wanted to say now just this: all these critics just look so small and pathetic and puny compared to Obama. Especially on a day like today, where he mans up, accepts responsibility for various failures in the government, and focuses on what’s to be learned (rathern than who is to be blamed).

Not a day goes by that I don’t thank God that he’s our President. What a relief after the last 40 years.
