| 79. I was watching a panel on CSPAN around 2 am...3 men who write |
|
about presidents, and a female moderator....don't know names..
Obama was compared to LBJ and others....audience had interesting comments on O...one lady said she thought he was a nice guy who doesn't like to argue...one of men on the panel stated that people who "were" in the administration call him ruthless...once you have served your purpose...he's finished with you....I found that interesting.
Also...nobody is afraid of Obama...LBJ was feared...so was Pelosi...panel commented...nobody fears him and that's not a good thing..fear is beneficial.
