I finally noticed all the action on this thread and the question I have is what is wrong with this country's electoral process that we can't get a good leader into the White House? I think one of the big problems we have is that we really don't know the men we elect as President any more. We have to pick between two images that are produced by massive (read money here) propaganda campaigns that are altered and twisted along the way to fit the polls and surveys. I am not even sure that any rational man would want to be President seeing as the political reality is that to run for the office means to bend over and let the public count the pimples on your ass. Every so often we do elect a moral man who hasen't been totally corrupted by politics in Washington; Pres. Obama and before him, Pres. Carter. And what good does that do us? Very little I'm afraid.
On a sideline here; what about Nostradamus? Did he not predict that we would have an ineffectual leader at this time?
