In spite of his often “fluid” political principles, I felt he was a man of basic integrity, a disciplined worker, and a family man.
The just released film on his campaign is very depressing, however.
My basic take away - the man did not want to run for president.
That feels like a fist in the stomach.
The most important job in the country, at a critical point in our history, and somehow the GOP found a man who lacked the passion, the political insight, and the personal conviction to run a competitive campaign against Barack Obama.
Me too, not that I thought he was a winner. He had no appeal to social conservatives, the base. It was more like dumb bunnies gone wild.
I have completely given up trying to understand our financial system.
Everything I thought I knew about finance is useless.
Massive money printing, massive debt, massive fiscal deficits, and interest rates have barely moved.
Didn't the Chicom s get out of or stop buying our short term debt? Theres a reason economics is called the dismal science.
