The Presidency and Moral Courage
Category: POLITICS
Would it be easier for the president to hop aboard the "let's kill Islamic terrorists" bandwagon?  Of course. It would be popular, understandable, and a political rallying cry for a president who could use all the support he can get. That he refuses to take that route in his public comments is, even if you think he is wrong, an example of moral courage.
