in England did an editorial strictly aimed at the current US President and his short comings to date. The article gave him good grades for eloquence and a "failing" grade for accomplishment. It went into detail about his speeches outside the US promising what was to happen with no results.

One thing I came to appreciate while in Europe (and desperately miss) is the Europeans candor. Their thought process is not clouded by the interruption of reality by political correctness....as we are here in the USA. They say what they think.....quite refreshing. They also (like a lot of us here in the US) that when the head of the country gets up on the stage and pontificates what will happen.....they are really wierd....they expect it to happen.

I find that the non USA editorial from around the world to be much more informative than the puppeteer media of the USA. Try it. You will see a huge difference of opinion. The other aspect many will not like is they do not go back in time to recalibrate a current event in terms of somebody elses watch. The current administration owns it from day one.

Anyway my pitch for this mornings round.

Does anybody think Nancy and her "gang" won't try to use they majority vote (if they can get one) to pass what ever they want in the name of health care reform......or if only Olympia Snow does fall in their direction that they won't crow about how bi-partisan they are. That too may be legal but it sure ain't representative democracy!!!
