Most Americans probably agree that we have elected a highly articulate, talented president in Barack Obama. He has also given us a potentially great Secretary of State in Hillary Clinton. It makes me proud to witness these two recent political rivals working together to strengthen and enrich America at home and abroad. Recognizing the major economic crisis our new leader has inherited, we must hope his proposed economic plan will be helpful.
I think it will. But as someone on the sidelines, may I suggest a few other steps?
First, why not order all U.S. troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan by Thanksgiving? They should be greeted at home with a duplication of the GI Bill of Rights that I enjoyed as a combat bomber pilot following World War II.
This means offering each soldier a college education at any school of his or her choice. In 1945, after completing my few remaining months for a Bachelor's degree at Dakota Wesleyan, I enrolled at Northwestern University and went all the way to a Ph.D. in history without any cost to me except hard work. Other veterans chose to buy a farm or start a business with low-cost, government-guaranteed loans.

McGovern perfectly captures the reasons (unintentionally) why we are in so much more danger now that Obama and his ilk are now in the White House.
“Most Americans probably agree that we have elected a highly articulate, talented president in Barack Obama.”
I have NEVER held that view...
"We are out of money". - Obama
His first two sentences show his deteriorating intellect. No sense in reading the whole thing and wasting my time.
That was written by a pandering Idiot.
When a politician loses an election by a total landslide, it pretty much means the the masses do not really care what he thinks or has to say.
Where’s his advice against Card Check? That was about the only thing I agreed with McGovern about since... well, ever.
George still has a problem with military strength. Maybe we should pull the police out of his neighborhood, too.
To be fair, McGovern flew missions over Germany as a WWII bomber pilot.
Oh yeah? Then what the heck is that teleprompter about, huh?!?
Barry Half-White is crooning baby baby to swooning female twits..
but he is still a ZERO.. a tool of a Cabal.. a drone in the collective..
This should have been posted with a BS Alert!!!
The curator at whatever museum where this old fossil is stored should be fired for letting it out.
“Most Americans probably agree that we have elected a highly articulate, talented president in Barack Obama”
Let’s stop right there. What has been elected is the biggest fraud and scam ever in America. Obama wants us including his voters to be enslaved.
that reads like his monologue from the time he hosted Saturday Night Live
“highly articulate”
This is code for Massa thinks usa smart fer a black guy.
...as long as you tow the Leftist line, you have our full support as an articulate smart black man.
If he had won the presidency, McGovern’s world view would have prolonged the Russian enslavement (and its allies) of the the countries and people under the former USSR for who knows how long. At least two or more generations would have suffered under the brutal, churlish yolk of communism emboldened by a McGovern administration.
Evidently, he must have had his brain rattled around a bit.
