CAPEHART: We Americans seem to demand that our president never admitted doubt at home or acknowledge a shortcoming abroad. Yet, we have a president who isn’t afraid to do both, especially on the international stage. Whereas some conservative critics slam President Obama for not continually chest-thumping “American exceptionalism,” I see it as a strength that he owns up to his nation’s inability or failure to live up to its ideals. By doing so, Obama shows people yearning for freedom and liberty elsewhere that both don’t come easily and that maintaining both requires their constant vigilance and care. wapo.st/1sYhuYX
