Capt haplo - its not worth it.

Historically speaking; there are four outcomes to a presidents time in office.

when you have served your term(s) and you are leaving office as president and the game is over for you.

either

1. You're a national hero who could do no wrong. (10% chance)

2. 4 years ago everyone was sure you were the new savior of America... now, you're a dumb SOB that everyone hates. (88% chance)

3. You've been impeached. (1% chance)

4. You've been assassinated *or died in office for some other reason. (1% chance)

But i will tell you this.

Even though i think Abraham Lincoln broke or raped as many laws as Bush could be accused of he nailed it when he said...

"You can make some of the people happy all the time... you can make all the people happy some of the time... but you cant make all the people happy all the time."

as for Yobama

I overheard some early twenties agers talking about how Yobama wants to make it so that any kid in a family which earns less than $60K per year will go to college for free and to top it off he is going to reduce taxes.

now im sorry, but im smarter than that... "there is no such thing as a free lunch" is a quote that comes to mind.

SOMEONE - SOMEWHERE is paying for that individual's college.

whenever a politician tells you that they will give you more stuff while taking away less money... you are having exorbitant amounts of smoke blown squarely up your ass.

America is shifting away from the mentality that "all men are created to equal" toward a mentality of "all men are subsidized into equality"


long live Harrison Bergeron
