Well , today is President's Day and everyone is debating, smearing, deciding if someone on the national scene could and should be President. A recent Gallup Poll has this dumbed down American public once again pick its best-favorite President. They picked JFK, then Reagan and then Clinton. Can you imagine that holding up in 50 years? That leaves out Lincoln, Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, even Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman or IKE. Now when one really looks at the accomplishments of Presidents, I can assure you that Clinton and JFK should not be in the top 20 of our Presidents. It is amazing how ignorant our American public is when one sees this new Poll. As to today, no one can even list 3-4 things that Hillary or Obama have accomplished, a law written, an idea espoused that has benefitted America. Not one. Yet they are scheming to be our Commander in Chief. Amazing isn't it that the only history professor and PHD to ever be President, was Wilson and he is not by any means a favorite of mine. Few Americans can even explain why this is President's day except it is for sales or perhaps a 3-day vacation. McCain was a military guy, a hero but some of his laws passed have been disastrous while others may be OK but nothing for the history books. At least he could be a Commander in Chief. The other two running today, would be jokes. No one would trust, least the military under them. Big ideas that show democracy, free enterprise, strength, vision just don't exist. Our candidates preach perception, hope, change but there is no beef. Presidents from the past had crises to face and though flawed, did something historically recognized generations from their presidency. We seem to be in an age of pipsqueaks with voters so ignorant that they wouldn't know real issues from TV fads, American Idol, the soaps, their IPODS, or some fantasy book. The last big ideas President that we have had was Reagan. He was also a strong Commander in Chief. I would settle for just a good Commander in Chief in this bunch we have today. At least they might protect our security so we can keep our sovereignty, our freedoms, our Constitution, and our free enterprise opportunities. Maybe!
