koan, "He was looking right in the face a great depression and he never took it seriously and felt he could deal with it as an aside." 1) As I said, it takes a bent head to want to be president in the first place, and 2) Fabian Socialists don't care what damage they do to the system - seeing it as necessary - as long as they make some progress toward their goal, and never mind how long it takes, or who has to be sacrificed along the way. Here may be the best reason of all for why so many Liberals seem unconcerned with Obama's crash in ratings.

"for all his (presumed) intelligence and education." There, fixed that for ya. Al Gore is probably the smartest, best educated of recent candidates and might even have made a good president. He did a good job as VP from all reports. It worries me how he seemed to have lost it for a while there after he lost his bid, but that's just a casual observation from someone with no special info sitting in his basement in Chicago. If intelligence and education where what it took we could give a test. Aside from intelligence and education not being consistent predictors of good leadership, we seem to settle for the appearance of intelligence and attendance at a good school as proxy for the real things.
