Spitz is to Nixon as Phelps is to ... Obama. Let's hope so, anyway. Mark Spitz won seven gold medals at the 1972 Olympics, Nixon had to resign in August, 1974. Michael Phelps won eight. Perhaps that will move up the Obama bye-bye (Bambi) date to, oh let's see, April 2009? Well there's no Rush, I suppose. There's still some cash left in the treasury, right?
