30. How did JFK get through the debates? Or FDR?
|
If FDR was in debates, he could probably sit. Any debates would have only been on the radio, or possibly on film for later viewing.
JFK supposedly had a bad back, so standing through a debate would be a challenge. If I stand for a long time, my back will kill me. So I probably won't run for president. In fact, I probably wouldn't be able to be a Walmart greeter. Bad backs suck. Anyway, ok, now I feel a little bad for Perry. But I'm glad he's not going to be president. Dumber than Dubya, there's a campaign slogan.  |

Like when President Ford came down the steps when he got off of his jet real fast that one time.
