I don't know if Slick Willy was a heavy weight or not. I remember him talking to a group of GF flood refugees in an aircraft hanger in the Spring of '97 and basically said "I reel your pain." It was a great ulugy for something that hadn't even died. Imagine his "take the bull by the horns" speech he would have delievered on Sept. 12, 2001.

Talking tough doesnt make you a heavyweight (see for example: W).

W did a nice job on 9/11 but he cant even pronounce "nuclear".

Clinton figured out how to beat an incumbent who won a war. The democrats since then cant figure out how to beat that incumbents kid.

Slick Willy indeed but he is still very popular. That will help Hilary.

Get it done

Post by TTpuckster »

All good comments about their personalities, but...

As PB put it,

Who, if elected the next Chief, will actually get it done!
Who has the nads and skill to actually get something done while they are in office?

I dunno.
I'm at least, still undecided, with any of the candidates from either party.
I've got about a year to figure it out. :shock: :shock: :shock:

I got a chance to hear a guy speak recently who would make a fine president.

I would like to nominate Don Essig for president of the United States. Don Essig is not a household name, nevertheless, some of you are familier with his work. Don Essig has been the chairmen of the USGA Rules Committee, he has served as the chief rules official for PGA and US Opens. Don is an intelligent problem solver with the highest of integrity, something this country needs. And yes, he can pronounce nuclear and other difficult words as well. American domestic and foreign issues are a cakewalk compared to the USGA's Rules of Golf.

"ESSIG IN '08"

Once again, I hate to rain on everybody's parade, but I'm not sure I can trust the foreign policy of any rules offical who wouldn't make a stand against this.

That man can't be trusted. Watch your balls.

Take this in the spirit that it is intended but really, whats wrong with Hilary?

I actually liked Bill. He was a buisnessman more than a Democrat. He couldnt keep his pants on but he was smooth as silk and appeared presidential.

If Hilary is cut from the same cloth, what would be the big deal if she was President? I know, I dont like her much either.

But look boys, there is a war going on and now it looks like we may have some financial problems with the housing market being what it is. Our Republican President embarrasses himself every time he opens his mouth and appears to be clueless.

With the strongest Republican candidiate being a TV actor, we may as well get ready for a Democrat to win the White House. If that happens Id rather have somebody with some balls like Hilary in there than some John Kerry, Edwards, Gore type.

I dunno, whatayathink?
Of the dems I like Joe Biden the best but he doesn't have a shot. Hillary is nothing like her husband. She is for socialized medicine and would make this a socialist society in no time.
