Obama Does The Nation a Favor

The President's moving tribute to the miners who lost their lives in the Massey mining disaster was a model of what the President's role should be in a great tragedy. The President avoided placing blame and naming scapegoats. Instead, the President extolled the miners as family members who were attempting to live the American dream and improve the lives of their families. Three cheers for President Obama. This was a warm and welcome message to families who have suffered great losses.
