Barack Obama

Joan Ruaiz wrote an amazing piece.

The person who made the observation I quote below was a relatively ordinary guy not known as a deep thinker, and yet even he still got it. Some will not be impressed with Alex Karras, as he was only a football player who later became an actor. But his words make sense, and that is why I end with them:

“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them,
more strength to relate to people than to dominate them,
more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.”

This is what we in the BOG know about this President and others to blind to see.
I too am glad to be here in this time and place.
Eight years of Bush were abject misery. Darkness reigned.
Obama gave us a chance to feel the sun again.

Thank you so much for posting this. It was so nice to come home to, freshwest. Well done.
