"Humility"___ The most important word spoken abroad by the president, so far

[bigtree]

from President Obama's G20 Press Conference today: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/02/politics/100days/worldaffairs/main4914735.shtml


"I can tell you that what I've tried to do since I started running for President and since I was sworn in as President, is to communicate the notion that America is a critical actor and leader on the world stage, and that we shouldn't be embarrassed about that, but that we exercise our leadership best when we are listening; when we recognize that the world is a complicated place and that we are going to have to act in partnership with other countries; when we lead by example; when we show some element of humility and recognize that we may not always have the best answer, but we can always encourage the best answer and support the best answer.

Although thinking in any form is next to impossible for rightwingnuts.
