The president who's been vilified the worst in history is still marching forward into the gale, doing his best to help save the country, wanting the true benefits of justice even for those who've forsaken every decent instinct they might once have possessed. That's what makes him great, though. Maybe someday a few of his enemies will realize how wrong they've been, even if they lack the integrity to admit it.
