36. A good president can have the same law a bad one does. Don't elect Jeb in 16

What one did when a bad President(Bush ) was in office has NO relation to what one does when a good one is in office(Obama).

Lincoln was a great President.
FDR was a great President

Carter was a great President
Obama is a great President

we live, we learn

and we are at war, right here like in the Civil Wars days
