I keep saying that between going to the inauguration, watching all the great stuff Obama has been doing, and finding out that coffee is good for the brain, this has been my Best Week Ever. Well, the week is supposedly over today, but Mr. President is still sending a special envoy to the Middle East on a listening tour. I guess he figures that people out there may have some interesting things to say, and probably better to address those views than simply bomb them all to hell.
It’s a small step and one that should have been taken a long time ago, but damn it feels good to have a president who finally takes diplomacy seriously.
