"As we celebrate the historic day let us remember the stark contrast of two presidencies. One will have the legacy of a stained finger that represents the greatest gift that can be given to the oppressed Iraqi people -- their freedom.

"The other stain was on a blue dress. It represents a failed eight years. Any one good CEO and any number of Democrats or Republicans could have presided over the economy in the 1990s. It just so happens that a man without character or conscience, a man who is truly a sociopath, was at the helm during an economic expansion. Terrorism grew around the world while he spent his time thinking about satisfying his sexual needs, intimidating witnesses, commiting perjury, suborning perjury, and trying to deny a lowly state employee her day in court."

Excellent observations, Doug. Your essay deserves media attention.

Duh. I read it twice and missed it. Not - Any one good CEO. Doug, wake up -- remove the "one."
