imo we've had nothing but lightweights running for some time now for office, with both parties having unpalatable nominees. it's a disgrace when you look at leaders we've had in the last 50 years compared to previous. i have a hard time imagining history books in future talking about pelosi and boehner, obama and bush, kerry and gore, etc in the same vein as the book i'm reading now-about james k. polk...with a supporting cast of jackson, clay, daniel webster, john quincy adams, thomas hart benton, calhoun and the like.
where are our statesmen? why do we have what we have?
