When A President Cries

During a speech to the nation yesterday, US President Obama proposed an executive gun law where gun sellers are required to do a background check on their customers.  Every president has have proposed a law before so there is no big deal but what makes this speech different than others is that the President put some emotions in it.  Rather than stay firm and strong as a man, he cried as he spoke about the killing of children in the town Newtown in Connecticut in 2012 and other victims in gun violence for the past decade.  We are taught that in order to think clearly, we have to remove any hint of emotions in our life.   But sometimes emotions can be a good thing. Having emotions shows we are still humans and we care, rather than brushing every problems away and coming up with a solution, like a programmed robot.  Despite the fact how he is the leader of the United States, Obama is still a human and he has emotions.  And best of all, the crying shows he cares and in a time of trying to put a change in effect, we need someone who cares behind all the fact at hand.
