When I first watched Obama answer questions, many years ago now, I would tense up when be paused and did not answer right away. I so admired the man, and was distraught when he didn't spit it out. Then, yes, I realized what he was doing. He was thinking. He was analyzing the question and his response.

He does that everyday. In any situation he stops and analyzes the situation. He weighs cause and effect. He does not go into anything blindly. He is not making these decisions about Syria without thought of the outcome. This is why I trust the President.

I wish more people understood that.

Thank you for posting this article in the BOG babylonsister.
