SandBox Comments: Aspen Times/Charlie Leonard "President should lead more and whine less"
Thank you, Charlie Leonard!
"But despite all that, here are three very important things to remember:
1. Being president is a hard job. It might be the hardest job in the world. The president acts as if he's surprised and more than a little frustrated by this reality.
2. The president also acts as if partisanship came about on his watch. The fact is that our politics have been extremely partisan for a very long time, but it hasn't stopped others from making progress. Look no further than some of our state capitals, where governors of both parties have been extremely effective at working with legislative opponents.
3. Our politics — and the makeup of the Congress following the 2012 election — are not likely to change in a way that favors the president. In fact, if he is re-elected, it will likely be harder given the president's decision to base his campaign on attacking Republicans.

"Truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident."
