There are dozens of private stories about the President's compassion and probably a lot more because he won't make them into campaign tidbits like all those who want him out would do. Just about anything he does, that makes others mad at him, revolves around compassion, whether it be going in harms way for Thanksgiving, parying and crying with wounded soldiers or dead sodiers' families, immigration, prescription bills, you name it and he does it for the right reason.
