For the sake of self-respect.

A little too much. That’s the degree of my admiration of Barack Obama. A little too much. I like it that he’s a cool cat. Doesn’t let things bother him. Which gives him the air of a nice guy. Because he doesn’t hold grudges. Unfortunately, that means he gets pushed around. By his political foes. I’ve tried to model my life along similar lines. Hold no grudges. Turn the other cheek. Give in to the wishes of others. Forgive and forget. Even when I’m insulted. But unlike Obama, I’ve decided to be ungentlemanly. To take off the gloves. For the sake of self-respect. Too bad Obama doesn’t do the same. –Jim Broede
