(2,918 posts)Unfortunately, we're part of the 'not good enough' party.
The man could cure cancer, end hunger & homelessness and unemployment before 9am - people would still stamp their feet and complain.
*sigh!* Whatever.

I talked with the president at one of those fundraisers some months back, and I asked him, "What keeps you up at night?"
And he said, "Everything. Everything that gets to my desk is a critical mass. If it gets to my desk, then no one else could have handled it." So I said, "So what's the one that keeps you up at night?"
He goes, "There are quite a few."
So I go, "What's the one? Period."
And he says, "Pakistan."
I get that: There's the question of whether Zardari's government is actually in control, or whether the military is. And how close the Taliban, or Al Qaeda, or whoever else is to having their hands on real weapons of mass destruction. It's the closest government there is to allowing those weapons to either be used or sold to places that we really wouldn't like to have those weapons. That's a concern for all of us.
