I was in Washington in the sixties and 1970 when two administrations

involved with the sexual ego as soldiers and civilians died in
Vietnam. Macho nonsense. I figured that with all of his
intelligence, Obama would also need time to learn just as all of them
do. No one term limits Wall Street and the term limits in
Washington just guarantee that you will have amateurs who learn and
then leave just when they could have done some good.

inconsiderable number of the rather less important Canadian
Senators... it rather goes with the turf...
The question is whether the contribution one has made has in
the public interest or in the interests of the 1% or to line one's own
pockets and there I don't think that he can faulted.
