Our President's Voice of Reason: From Arrest To Reconciliation

Hey PR Fellows,

I think I'm at the end of my rope with this whole accusation of whether or not President Barack Obama called Cambridge police "stupid" or not. He did not call them stupid, but their actions.

Logically, if you show police officers identification while standing in your home and they arrest you anyway, you may become a little or maybe extremely irrate as well.

At the end of the day though, I just love how the President quickly stepped up to the plate and became the mediator in this highly publicized squabble; a squabble that invloves his friend. We all know that can be difficult. I didn't hear about anyone else seeking to do that. Being a mediator id difficult business. Instead, while others were talking, President Obama was thinking how to not only hold himself, but the other men accountable for their actions.

As Christians, we can learn from these three men agreeing to meet together over beer to squash this issue. In less than a week's time our preident has identfied a problem, contacted the two opposing parties and appointed himself mediator. Great publicity, YES, but a much better Christian operating in the proper technique of reconciliation.

Isn't this what we're supposed to do as opposed to allowing a difference to fester? I don't care if it's over beer, comic books or video games, President Obama is on point-AGAIN.
