[ PRESIDENT WHO [ 0 旧 By Ann Patchett IT'S AN OLD STORY.• A WISE MAN WALKS INTO THE KINGDOM 0f an angry and mistrustful king and says, "GO out and find me one truly good man. The king puts on a disguise and for the next year talks tO every person he meets, not only in his own kingdom, but in all the neighboring kingdoms, and in the end he returns and reports that this mythical creature, this truly good man, cannot be found. "Some came close,: ” says the king. "But when I really examined them, they were, in their hearts, all bad. ” And so the wise man goes to the next kingdom, where the king is loving and kind, and he says, "GO out and find me one truly bad man. ” This king, too, fails at his task. "I met some people who seemed bad at first," the king says. 'But once I got to know them, I found that there was always some good. ' A GREAT DEAL Of hOW we see the world depends on our outlook. For eight years, President Obama gave the American people the example Of his careful consideration, compassion, rigorous intelligence and, wonder ofwonders, love. Love was not something I would have previously thought t0 100k for in a President, but now l'm wondering h0W l'll d0 without it. lt was there in a11 those pictures taken Of the President with children, the mutual j oy in every enc ounter. lt was in the expansive tenderness and respect he showed his family: mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sisters, daughters, MicheIIe.

And Obama gave more Pres idential Medals 0f [ 00K FOR Freedom than any other President, saving the last one for his Vice President, A PRESIDENT Joe Biden, whom he called "my brother ” at the surprise ceremony. Biden, like the rest Ofus watching, was in tears. Obama's final days in the White House were a fire sale 0f love: he got it out there as fast as he could, trying tO release as much good as the law allowed, and it was not just the attempt tO make sure some 18 million Americans Will continue tO have the right t0 health insurance, an effort that may well prove futile. lt was bigger than that, and it was smaller.

But part 0f the lump in my throat is gratitude. Obama spent eight years showing us how it's done. He saw the good in us, he saw the love, and he told us so. Now all we have to do is live up tO it.

MiIIenniaIs have been hurt the most, paying on av- erage $ 1 , 400 more per year for a bottom-of-the-barrel plan and ensuring they never move out ofMom and Dad's basement.

This would inspire companies tO Stay in America and companies tO move back home after relocating overseas. The Tax Foundation says this could increase long-run U. S. GDP by as much as 4.1 %. But as Trump has told me personally, we cannot stop at lowering the rates on large corporations like Microsoft and GE; we must also lower the rates for the 28 million small businesses in America. small-business owners WhO reinvest profits in their companies would be taxed at only 15 %.

Egypt has had a revolution, democracy, theocracy and a coup, while the west's nearly 40-year-long cold war with lran has begun t0 thaw, just as the whole region is engulfed ⅲ a Sunni-Shi'ite/ Saudi-Iranian proxy war. Yet the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—the hinge on which the rest Ofthe region used tO swing—has been strangely static. lsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads a right- wing coalition with no real interest in pursuing a two-state solution, while President Mahmoud Abbas oversee s a fractured and corrupt Palestin- ian Authority with no ability t0 deliver a deal, nor even tO ViSit Gaza, where Hamas continues tO reign, and misery continue S tO prevail. Just as history is being written and rewritten all around them, lsraelis and Pal- estinians remain submerged in a decade- long status quo Of creeping settlement growth and sporadic violence. However, the election 0fDonaId Trump has turned this reality upside down. The passage 0fU. N. Resolution 2334 ⅲ late December, which reafrmed that lsrael's settlements in occupied territories have no legal validity, would likely not have hap- pened without the looming shadow 0f Trump. T U. N. RESOLUTION served as a prelude tO the pantomime and dysfunction ofthe peace conference held in Paris on Jan. 15 with 70 nations in attendance, but no lsraelis nor pal- estinians. The U. K. government refused tO sign a jOint state- ment calling on bOth sides tO recommit tO a two-state solu- tion, and opposed its adoption by the E. U. 's Foreign Affairs Council—a surprising turn ofevents, since the U. K. is widely believed to have masterminded Resolution 2334. One supposition is that British Prime Minister The- resa May—keen tO tether a U. K. now unmooring itself from Europe t0 the U. S. instead—has fallen ⅲ line with Trump's worldview on lsrael. That worldview could not be more dif- ferent from that 0f the outgoing Obama Administration, whose genuinely pro-lsraeli position could be summed up with the old adage "Friends don't let friends drive drunk ” that is, build settlements that destroy a two-state solution. Trump, on the other hand, is plying his alcoholic friends with liquor and goading them t0 drive faster. He has prom- ised tO move the U.
