Mastering in Ungrace

I really enjoy reading James Emory White’s blog on a regular basis. Today, he has a great post on President Obama, Michael Vick & Tucker Carlson. Here is part of it:

President Obama recently praised the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles for giving quarterback Michael Vick a second chance after serving an 18-month prison sentence on charges related to a dogfighting ring.

According to an Associated Press article, “Obama spokesman Bill Burton says the President told owner Jeffrey Lurie that while he condemns the crimes Vick was convicted of, he believes people who have paid for their crimes should have the opportunity to contribute to society again.

With his second chance, Vick has led the Eagles to the playoffs this year after assuming the starting job.

Not on the Vick bandwagon is commentator Tucker Carlson who, commenting on Obama’s praise of an act of grace, said that Vick did not deserve a second chance.
