A Personal Anecdote About Obama's "Teaching Moment" Over The Gates "Controversy"
I was playing tennis today and the guys playing doubles on the next court had a mild dispute about a line call and one of the guys on the court on the other side of them (a senior, senior citizen) says, "Hey, like Obama said, if you can't get along let's all have a beer!", followed immediately by laughter from all courts.

3. The great lesson
"When in doubt, have a drink!"
Something I try to practice on a daily basis.
