Shouldn't.
^_^ So sorry. I know you were just being silly and it was too easy to pass up.
I'm not sure about the debate. I think hillary would do alright as president but--what worries me is that I don't think she'd be able to take the heat that the republicans ARE going to pour on nonstop if she were to get the nomination. Although maybe she would respond better to pressure from outside her party than from within (entirely possible imho). Still, Obama comes across as someone who would be able to lead the country in a level-headed manner--something we really REALLY need right now.
His comments about nader earlier this week kind of bothered me though. Nader was dead on with his comment on if the dems can't win this year they should just give up and quit.
What the 'l'???
What are you, a walking fvcking . . .
wait! . . . there was a debate tonight?
Ahhhhhh, Hillary. So dedicated, so focused, so personally unlikable.
I'm not all that thrilled about Obama, though. He remains a bit of a cipher to me. A smooth command of oratorical generalities do not necessarily a president make.
I still wish, in some respects, that we had the English system. Barbara Bush would make a GREAT Queen Mother -- patrician, personally cold, massive, ugly. And shrub would be the perfect idiot Prince!
Traditional empire or no, we have the standing of a Great Power in the world. So, without conscious acknowlegement, our Presidents have to fulfill the dual role of King
and Prime Minister.
Perhaps is we had a King (maybe an elected one, American Idol style?), we could then safely give the job of Uncle Daddy to a senile, feel good boob like Reagan, and let some non-charismatic but intelligent dweeb like Dukakis was have the
working position of Prime Minister.
It's just a thought. :disgust:
