They say President Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward.

Thomas A. Edison



Who does this remind you of?

    Washington partisans appear unforgiving of any “blunder” made by our president. It is the most trite form of politics, in my view. We might recall the words of one of our greatest presidents, Theodore Roosevelt:

    “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

    Mustang,
    I totally agree with you on the state of politics in DC.
    That is one of my favorite quotes of all times.
