...you wrote, karynnj. I have always thought it important for leaders to speak of these issues to my childrens' generation...to teach them and bring them along to solve pressing problems we face. Both President Obama and John Kerry understand the importance of this and regularly strive to do so.

BTW, I get that 'brief regret' moment, too, from time to time. But seeing the progress being made on turning the country around since 2004 really helps.

The Christian Science Monitor article is very good - and as you said Politico's is pretty shallow karynnj Feb 2013 #15

I like your comments regarding Politico. Politico seems to be nothing more than a political tabloid/ wisteria Feb 2013 #17

I suspect that Politico is more comfortable covering politics, not policy - no matter who. karynnj Feb 2013 #18
