Doesn't it seem like 1979, president-wise, for those of us sentient in those days?
What is there to miss? Our Basketball Tout in Chief (BTinCh) hasn't done or said one thing different in public pronouncements since he started campaigning in 2004.
He has to be livid these days with his speech writers. Every morning he looks in the mirror expecting to see Abraham Lincoln or Ronald Reagan. He is still looking for the perfect sound bite. He says to himself, "How will you go into the books as the most loved and respected while making those vacuous pronouncements day after day?"
The problem, of course, is Lincoln never handicapped a basketball tournament or ran off to the golf course while Jubal Early tapped the defense of Washington DC, Fort Stevens if memory serves...
Maybe if he can just pick that NCAA winner in advance. That will be his one important accomplishment.
That’s why I’m looking for a Reagan in 2012. If we don’t have someone that strong, with those kind of convictions, this country will be in a serious world of hurt.
