Then, and only then, does M$M find it newsworthy. There's an old Chinese proverb that when a leader does things, he should set it up so that the people will say, 'We did this ourselves,' instead of taking credit.

Obama is not 1% of the self-promoter and salesman that just one of the GOP opposing him have been. Because really, when you're getting good things done that is the true reward, not praise by others.

It's good how this turned out for this man and his family and he and they may be able to teach the Americans they come into contact some valuable lessons about the world.
