We already have an egocentric president, let us replace him with someone who is interested in America not just his own self love

Oliver is so self-absorbed he is the only notices him. The nicest thing about getting older is that one can immediately identify the self-absorbed who have convinced themselves they can be taken seriously even though they don't like themselves very much. So perhaps we all need to take a breath and begin appraising celebrities AND politicians from the perspective of the reputation they have with themselves--sound DUMB. People who understand and like themselves can be genuine--we have a definite lack of that these days.

Lamar, I am with you. Yes some of these 'newbees' will be terrible; some are kooks; some will be RINOs, but if you review what happens in politics--many very left people were elected and had to move more to the middle--this will probably happen to so called kooks who want to end the education department--it should be ended but it will not happen quickly so let us just get some folks from the right to bring the pendulem back to middle right.

And one more thing, Nice of O to elevate Boener by responding to him on Boener's turf. Good Respect there Mr. O

I would laugh but my mouth is full of bile--it is choking me. Let's see it is going to cost the government $700B to allow the job creators to have 2 years of certainty so that they will create jobs. gee I only went to high school and never took an economics course. Let's use the remainder of the unspent stimulus to contribute to that group of job creators and let's rock and roll.

I agree and enlarge, George. As a HS graduate married to a PhD, I found through the years that where I had curiousity, most of the 'acquired knowledge' friends in our circle felt they had already achieved all they required. Thank you but I would rather continue to learn for the rest of my life than ever feel that those with less 'acquired knowledge' than I have nothing to teach me.

We need to be careful when we are critical. We all disliked the abuse Mr and Mrs. Bush took at the hands of the 'haters' and we need to be less like them. Mr and Mrs O come from a different place. I think what American sees in both of them now is a lack of genuiness. Pray they find some.
