Good point.

Another moral of the story: Don't ever elect a lawyer to be president of the U.S. Lawyers have two basic characteristics that might work well in the U.S. legal system but which are miserable traits in an elected leader or in any other venue where executive-style leadership is required: 1) predilection for obscuring the facts in any situation in favor of outright political spin; and 2) an unhealthy faith in agreements among multiple parties just because they are written down on pieces of paper and signed.

Makes sense.

LOL, I like lawyers, but you are right, they stink as Presidents.
