President Obama Shows Authentic Class



President Obama showed real class tonight
, not taking the easy road of throwing the previous administration that falsely and blindly entrenched us in a costly war in Iraq under the proverbial bus.

I wonder, perhaps, if he was too gentle, but that's just me.

I thought the most impressive moment came at the end of the speech when, recounting soldiers who gave their lives in noble service, President Obama became (if just a bit) choked up. Sadly, people need to see him emote and act less stoic.

It will be interesting to see his opponents find reasons to find fault with the President's duty and mission to close out these wars and solve our economic woes.

It would be wonderful and remarkable if Republicans showed the courage to back this basic issue of personal and legal freedom . . . a courage that Democrats have largely lacked, including this White House.
