"American exceptionalism is lost by the greed of a few" But I believe that he actually lives his life, conducts his business affairs, in that same manor. I hope that he gets the Republican nominee, because, unless what has happened in the recent past with our elections, He will loose. Out of all of them out there for the Presidency, the one we have now is the best one for the job. Eventhough I don't agree with everything that Obahma has done. The one thing that has pissed me off more then anything is that he wrote, or changed the law, that to drill off shore in the gulf and such, that no public announcements have to be made..... It's just a done deal. Have you guys seen the ads on tv for how great the internal coast line is for tourism? I guess that myself, and most of us have a very short attention spand. WTF.
