Obama Shows No Sign Of Easing Up

We, The People. Manifest Destiny. Conceived In Liberty. Fear Itself. Ask Not. Morning In America. United We Stand. Yes, We Can. In Times Of Great Change And Tumult, Presidents Seek To Inspire Beleaguered Americans By Reminding Them Of Their National Identity.

Say What You Want To Say About The Rest Of His Presidency, Including His Tone-deaf Response To Katrina And A War Waged In Iraq On False Pretenses, Bush Connected With Americans In The Aftermath Of 9/11 Because He Looked As Frail And Unforgiving As We Felt.

Movies Such As 'mr. Smith Goes To Washington' In 1939 To 'dave' In 1993 Portray Washington Leaders As The Ultimate Everymen - Decent People Just Like You And Me, Only Thrust Onto Greatness.

It's An Appeal As Old As America And Its Presidency: This Is An Extraordinary Country Populated By Hard-working, Big-dreaming, Freedom-loving People Graced By God When They're Not Pulling Themselves Up By The Bootstraps.

Obama Will Learn From His Mistakes.
