During this tortuous wait, there is this new thing they have out called Google, you may wish to check it out. It is easy to use and free, to boot!

This was one of the first results:

I guess just having heard this claim made about every president for as long as I can remember, I was a bit surprised by your incredulity here.

To be fair, here at DU I read that Bush would cancel elections. There's plenty of this kind of crazy to go around.

Don't know if that's true or not. But I do think they tend to have huge egos and little empathy.

that I'm hoping he doesn't just get so fed up that he just walks away from the whole mess. I don't think he is very interested in taking on a 3rd term.
