What I like in a leader
"It was on Air Force One on election day that strategist Karl Rove started calling around to get the results of early exit polls. But the line kept breaking down. The only information that came through as the plane descended was a BlackBerry message from an aide that simply read: "Not good." Not long afterward, Rove got a more detailed picture and told the President and senior aides the bad news. Florida Governor Jeb Bush had been saying the state was looking good, and the Bush team had expected to be ahead in Ohio. But Kerry was leading everywhere. "I wanted to throw up," said an aide onboard. Bush was more philosophical: "Well, it is what it is," he told adviser Karen Hughes."

I've heard that exact phrase (word for word) uttered by my friend from Houston over the course of our 23 plus year friendship when bad things were happening to good people in our lives (including self). Must be a Texas philosophy. Of course, it's a Christian thing as well.

Thanks for that profoundly grounded sentiment. As Bush said today, and I paraphrase, there are things far more important than politics.
