Listening and watching the President at work throughout the world, I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln and his approach to handling his enemies:

President Lincoln was once criticized for his attitude toward his enemies. “Why do you try to make friends of them?” asked an associate. “You should try to destroy them.” “Am I not destroying my enemies,” Lincoln gently replied, “when I make them my friends?”

Perspective is everything! Our President has a very POSITIVE perspective and it is producing good fruit. That is why he is wining and why I voted for him and will do so again & again. . . .
