Hey, The Country Is Going To Hell In A Handbasket, But At Least Obama Is Calm

Rich Lowry of National Review discuss the current crisis and Obama's calmness. My favorite line...

"Calm is not in itself a leadership quality. Containing your emotions is important (see George Washington and the Duke of Wellington for a couple of history’s greatest examples), but calm is no substitute for courage, wisdom, or imagination. Calm can just as easily be an indication of arrogance as of nervy self-control, of aloofness as of coolness under fire."
