Maybe he will grow up now. It is not the man who holds the presidency, it is the job that holds the man. Now follow the constitution and your job will be a whole lot easier!

Maybe he will grow up now. It is not the man who holds the presidency, it is the job that holds the man.

Years ago a college professor asked if the man made the office or the office made the man. He gave Harry Truman as an example. A no-name political hack from Missouri becomes president in the middle of a World War. He is pulled aside and has something whispered in his ear and replies "We have an Atomic what?" and then makes the hard decision to use it. After the war he bucks the Communists in Greece and ends up being one tough little bastard.

Fast forward 60 years. You gotta have something to work with to start. There's nothing but mush with Obama. One half suspects he'll soon be found in a fetal position, sucking on his thumb and whimpering for someone to "make the bad man go away".
