Hard to know what a man’s character is until he has been put to the test, and in the end, character carries the day. We all know the movie, Friday Night Lights.” The thing is really about Odessa, TX. It is a blue-collar town close to Midland which is the white collar town. When I was there the football coach had a hard time recruiting players because many kids could afford to fly into Dallas and Fort Worth for the weekend. But Odessa was dead serious about football, and many a kid played with injury, even broken legs just to compete. We need a president who-like Lincoln—who will shrug off the pain and give everything, including his life for the country. I have heard a lot of bad stuff about FDR. But he played his heart out, literally. Whatever the shortcomings of his policy, he gave the last full measure of devotion. I don’t see that in this man who is president today. God knows we need a MAN in the job, not a spoiled child.

RE your comment / FDR:

Whatever the shortcomings of his policy, he gave the last full measure of devotion. I don’t see that in this man who is president today. God knows we need a MAN in the job, not a spoiled child.

Well said.
