Home sick with the flu and pretty much spending my time web surfing, tweaking my blogs, and watching FOX news. Not to mention I drank a whole huge pot of tea!
Anyway, I'm watching the news, and reading the news, and lots of it is about the memorial for the Columbia crew. I'm struck at how comforting the President is. I've been amazed at the depth of emotion in his speeches and in talking to us. For someone that wasn't noted as being a great speaker, you'd think he'd had some sort of metamorphosis. I don't think that's it though. I think it was always there, but it's only there for the real stuff, the stuff that's important. And I like it that way. I don't need a glib and ever-smooth President, I need one that actually cares about what's important and isn't thinking only of how he looks on TV. I'm comforted to know that he's in the White House, and I thank God that he's our President in these dark days. I know he can't fix everything that's wrong, but I do know that he's doing his best -- and that's all I ask for.
