All politicians by nature have a strong ego. It’s a requirement.

The fact he let Speaker Pelosi take the lead, even though it was obvious she was the one with real power is worth noting.

As a 50 something year old male, whose wife often has to put me in my place, I guess it was not a given he would allow her to be the leader.

But I’m a guy, and too often think like a guy.

Thanks for your comment.
