(personally, I don't care if he turns out to be "the best" or anything like that...I hope that he is competent and effective and reasonable, anything beyond that is gravy afaik)

Originally Posted By vbdad55 no but there is some interesting Clinton vs Carter feud stuff continuing today and was going on at the lunch Barack had with all the living presidents.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 I am not sure I want to start expanding 'anything' to be 'anything' either - maybe we need to change that saying. There are plenty of things I can imagine that would be aweful Should Charles Manson be able to be president ? Or anything other than where he is.. ( and no not comparing Manson to Arnold - just saying 'anything' likely doesn't work as the key word without a modifier like reasonable, any more)

Quite a little miracle every 4 years that we sometimes take for granted, that after all the tough campaigning and back and forth, in the end people generally, at least for a short time, set that aside and think about the bigger picture.

"Dear Rush: For the Obama [Immaculate] Inauguration we are asking a handful of very prominent politicians, statesmen, scholars, businessmen, commentators, and economists to write 400 words on their hope for the Obama presidency. We would love to include you. If you could send us 400 words on your hope for the Obama presidency, we need it by Monday night, that would be ideal." ... "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails."<< <a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_011609/content/01125113.guest.html" target="_blank">http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/ho...est.html</a>
