From Ruth Gledhill's blog on the meetings between Bishop Gene and President-elect Obama:
Bishop Gene said: 'One of the things Barack and I did talk about when we were together was just the experience of being first and the danger of that and we talked about being demonised by one side and, I don't know if the word is angelicised, by the other. Expectations are laid on you both negative and positive and neither are true. And the importance of remaining centred and grounded in the middle of that so that you don't begin to believe either your negative press or your positive press.'
Thank you, Mimi. I was not aware that they had met. This is good advice for everyone. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd be very happy to take advice from both of them.
