STRASBOURGH, France - Wheeling and dealing in politics is universal.
That's one of the lessons President Barack Obama says he took away from his first NATO summit.
--snip--
"It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate," said Obama, a former senator. "There's a lot of — I don't know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing, and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics."

I have had the honor of never watching this idiot on television, but just reading what he says makes me sick to my to my stomach! How on earth did Americans become so stupid as to elect him? I know--I know---but it's still hard to deal with the results, isn't it?
I have a friend in Wisconsin who's making some bucks selling buttons that's she's made up that say merely: BO Stinks! I get a lot of chuckles when I wear mine.

Never send a boy to do a man’s job. Indeed. Better yet, never bring a knife to a gun fight.
