Thank you all for your clarity. It's so hard to hear people say Barack tiptoed and side swept the issue. I felt he clearly answered the questions that he DIDN'T owe anyone. Quite frankly, if someone told me I should cut some people out of my life because their views were radical, I'd LMAO!!!
I went through a stage in my late teens where I was overly critical/judgmental and it's like a light switch went off one day... I have all these people who love me and here I am finding fault. To think they love my "highly" unperfect self. It changed my perspective. Sure I can nit pick but I've learned to love unconditionally... faults and all. In turn, that's how I'm loved.
I would hate to be on a pedestal ever wary of falling down. So Barack and anyone can love and associate with as many imperfect people as they choose because imperfect people can love and give and share. They can nurture and help and support.
Imperfect rocks are Diamonds and imperfect gem, a jewel.
Clams take sand and make pearls and that's my grain of salt to whomever's reading... You'll miss out on a lot of great people and experiences and happiness an enigma if you seek perfection from this world.
To know someone is to love them....
I can't find fault in him for that. I like Barack not for his dazzling speeches and endearing smile. He's my candidate because he can say I mess up sometimes. It isn't an arrogant "take me or leave me". No, he says this is me beautifully human and I hope you are too.
