News conference with Obama, Bush and Clinton - amazing images for those of us who live in the conviction that differences can sometimes be set aside in the service of important things. Each patting the others' arms, patting and resting hands on the others' shoulders, smiling at each other. (And Obama didn't even use a teleprompter!) Wait, what's that? ah, I hear . . . oh yes, it's my mother intoning yet again that "God writes straight with crooked lines" and yes, okay, sometimes it is so so true.
All I can say is what a Mensch W is to appear with him after all the Bush bashing from The One and did you ever see such Chutzpah as O appearing with W.
ReplyDeleteI know! It was good to see GWB being welcomed warmly.
