With all the upheavals in the world today--domestic and international--I'm really really REALLY glad we have a smart, thoughtful, insightful, pragmatic, and savvy person in the White House.
The beginning of the 21st Century doesn't look quite so bleak.
Amen. I saw his first big question and answer period after the first 100 days, and the *difference* in listening to him compared to George W. was just... *amazing*
He thought through all his answers, he didn't slide one way or another because of how the question was asked. He went to the heart of what was *behind* the situation for the question and spoke on that instead; and that was just... so amazing.
But, yeah... a thoughtful response instead of a kneejerk one in either direction is what make me very much more reassured that he understands what he's doing and if he doesn't know, he'll *ask*.
