One has to wonder what a McCain or Clinton presidency would have looked like ? It's just stunning how this country elected someone to lead with no experience, no record of achievement and is not a leader. Community organizer yes; leader no. Now we have one war to get out of, one war that probably will not be won and the country going to hell in a handbasket and a president who is whinning and blaming others for his problems. Well he's been in office six months, hey time for a vacation. How many people do you know who can take a vacation when just being on the job for six months ? What a great example he sets. when things get tough and your money is funny you should go on vacation.

Administrators throughout the country are asking their employees to sacrafice while they continue to enjoy the luxuries impassively.

That's the old Buchanan I know and loved. This column is right on. So much better than the rants and calling FIRE on the health care issue.

Okay, Byuke. I guess you are supposed to believe in God, since you are a right winger. So how are you going to explain this to Him on your deathbed: "But is it not a core ethical and moral obligation not to debauch the currency in which most of the hard-earned wealth of the American people is invested?" How hard has a babe born in to a rich family worked to gain the wealth that he will suck for the rest of his life? How will you explain to the Almighty why it is that a babe born into a ghetto family is deserving of anything less than the rich kid? You are a Repub, right? Family values and all that? Well, the country is the family. Is that not true my little patriot? What in the world does this gimme, gimme, gimme commentary of yours do to secure a world in which each innocent newborn in the family gets a fair shake at healthcare? In what you write, I'm reading "I got mine, lucky me. I'm going to do whatever I can to keep it so that someone else doesn't get it." Sounds like what goes on in the mind of a rat, to me, though with such statements I worry about insulting the integrity of rats. You are supposed to be of homo sapiens, the species that supposedly is self aware. You're failing miserably. Even worse, you would purport to be a leader. Get me the gag bag. How does someone like you, who knows better, sleep at night? You must have some great drugs.
