Our democratic framework may suggest the contrary: that our leaders obey us, the people. The President has referred to the people as his bosses. But obeying his bosses may be exceedingly difficult when their voices rise noisily from the gut and are unmediated by reason, when they are divided and contradictory, when they are ruled by dark spirits of anger, hatred and violence. Then the President who respects his bosses has quietly to lead his bosses to truth, to hope, and to action that supports the welfare of all.
