I am trying hard to get my urge to gloat under control.

Love the first quote. Definitely one to copy and send to all those right-thinking email pals out there!

This guy still doesn't get it. Dubya is a foxy hedgehog.

McAuliffe and Gore may want to take note of the warning issued by Clinton. It would be the smart thing to do.

But they won't, because they are completely unable to face the truth. If they were, there would have been no Florida fiasco in 2000, no Pubbie sweep last week.

They can remain in denial forever as far as I'm concerned!

Carter was not a fox.

He most definitely did have ironclad, uncompromising principles. That was the problem. The idea of bargaining, negotiating, give and take was abhorent to him. He saw his position as a moral imperative that all people of conscience should feel obliged to share and therefore compromise on it was moral cowardice. You cannot govern in crusade mode.

He tried to govern as a hedgehog, but a hedgehog must have able people around him. Carter surrounded himself with amateurs, seeking only 'purity'.

"Many of the President's political opponents view him as a fool"

Fortunately, many of the American people view him as a leader and a good man that can relate to the concerns of everyday, ordinary people. A man unafraid of getting his hands dirty. A man unashamed to let the world know how much he loves his wife and daughters. A man willing to let the UN know that they are very close to being a joke.

I feel very fortunate to live in a country where I can call this man my President.

Thanks for the ping Darlin'!

That good ol' boy demeanor conceals a formidible intellect. Sort of kind of like the steel fist in the velvet glove.

He fools the dumbocrats but he doesn't fool this Texan. He is smarter than IBM.

It reminds one of how the opposition party and even his own party found one president to be a country bumpkin and a hick until he won the Civil War.....Abraham Lincoln
