Yes, if there is one thing lacking in this country these days that Obama exemplifies it is *grace*...
A lot of grace-less people were like spectators watching gladiators during the first debate and were quick to give Obama a "thumbs down" for showing grace... That's sad... He didn't lose that debate... He refused to lower himself to the crassness exhibited by Romney with Romney's pit-bull tactics of repeating lies over and over and over...
Lotta people could learn something by re-winding and re-watching that debate...
Lotta people could also re-learn that when America started it's decline is when there always had to be a loser and a winner... If we treat the running of the country as combat then we are going to end up bloodied and far less able to compete in a global economy...
Good for Obama to continue to show compassion and grace...
