It is no fine point in understanding the relationship between the governed and those elected to govern. This country did not take the path it took after the war because of one so called "leader". It took the path it did because of all the people that make up the history and the philosophy of this nation since it's founding and before. And now again, the people of the United States will lead Mr. Obama as he attemts to represent us in the best way forward in this difficult time. And here's hoping we will again be proud of the direction we take the nation through those we chose to represent us. In
