“Being the President of the USA is the world’s toughest job by a wide margin.”
Why is that? anyone can make stupid decisions...
He isn’t fit to shine Ronald Reagan’s shoes IMO.
Brooks, will you still write like this when you’ve graduated to your junior year?
Perhaps this arrogant White House might be better served to heed the words of President John Quincy Adams in his "Jubilee" address in New York City in 1839:
"Every change of a President of the United States, has exhibited some variety of policy from that of his predecessor. In more than one case, the change has extended to political and even to moral principle; but the policy of the country has been fashioned far more by the influences of public opinion, and the prevailing humors in the two Houses of Congress, than by the judgment, the will, or the principles of the President of the United States. The President himself is no more than a representative of public opinion at the time of his election; and as public opinion is subject to great and frequent fluctuations, he must accommodate his policy to them; or the people will speedily give him a successor . . . ."
Like Truman in that he’s about to drop a bomb?
The first three paragraphs were just one trite, overused metaphor after another, and I have to admit, I didn’t make it past them. Having read such pap before, it’s safe to say that the author’s conclusion was foregone anyway.
Truth, he is more like Wilson and FDR!
This recent article in “American Thinker”— http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/03/give_em_hell_barry_in_2012.html —predicted that Obama supporters would soon be making the comparison to Truman—and why that comparison does not hold.
Obama wouldnt make a pus pimple on the butt of either Truman or Reagan.
Please do not post commie propaganda on FR!
they hope to convince the elderly that health care reform will produce cuts in Medicare
or to exploit concerns by those voters who are relatively happy with their current privately paid plans and don't want them disturbed. And they also hope to reach those who believe the so-called government “takeover” of healthcare is simply the next step in the expansion of the federal government
This boy don't have a G-d D--n clue, does he? ONE SECTION OF THE BILL CUTS $500 BILLION FROM MEDICARE, MORON. No convincing needed. And obviously, again, if you have more than thirty cents worth of brains, taking over our health care by definition expands the federal government. Where do these newspapers find these mental midgets anyway?
Needless to say, insurance companies make huge profits these days
This guy hasn't seen the comparisons where insurance company profit margins are worse than the majority of other business lines, has he? Sure glad we have these intellectually superior journalists to tell us what's going on in the world. Us right wingers are so poorly informed that we just couldn't make it without boy geniuses like this J. Brooks Specter.
