Gracefulness
Whether we like a person or not, we ought to be respectful.
Gracefulness
I did not vote for Obama
But I was educated to respect my elders.
Today Obama bowed before the Emperor of Japan and his wife.
I felt that this was an appropriate gesture from Obama.
This is a sign of respect for an elder man and his lady,
Even when representing a smaller country.
If the US wants to be respected among other nations
We have to first and foremost be polite, respectful, and graceful.
“The greatness of a party does not depend on the size of the land
Nor on the number of its inhabitants, but on the quality of the people”* Mendes France
We should not forget that Obama is our President.
