Thankful Posted July 9, 2009 First time I saw the president with glasses. He's doing an amazing job under intense and difficult odds. Meeting leaders and trying to find peace through dialogue. Something the opposition has no interest or no how of doing. Well Done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
