And right here we can see how the system works. Tit for tat. How do Americans live in such a openly broken country. The worst part are the political donations and those donations usually go to both sides.

Just vengeful considering the symbolism of that fund.

He ignored the call the run for office when it might have done some good, he can learn what happens when you let the chimps run the zoo.

I understand why he didn't want to take on that burden. But yeah, I'd have loved to see him throw his hat into the ring.

They say power is best given to those who want it least...

I say, if you're given the chance to lead and your first instinct is not to. Well don't think of it as taking power, think of it as stopping the village idiot from being taken seriously.
