Exactly. My kids love Obama, because he reaches out to them in ways that really make the connection. I think it’s a smart move to engage with the newer generations of voters on a platform they appreciate. I feel like Americans don’t need a stuffy, aristocratic supreme leader.

Indeed, rational heads, diplomacy and enlightened self-interest prevailed on both sides. Both sides built all kinds of fail-safe systems both simple and complex to prevent the unthinkable.
