Too true to be good

If you had told me that I was susceptible to be enthralled by a politician, I would've laughed, and laughed, and then laughed some more..

But listening today on UTube to a recent Obama speech on uphill struggle to pass the health reform bill, I couldn't help wondering yet again whether he's too good to be true, as the peculiar saying goes.

Quite aside from the question of being 'good', - while I happen to believe his health reform is a good thing, there are clearly quite a lot of others who don't,- what he says here is not a bad commandment for a life in general, in politics or not:

"We are not bound to win, but we are bound to be true; we are not bound to succeed, but we are bound to let, whatever light we have, shine."
