It’s been awhile since we had one of those leading our country. About three years or so.

I remember after Carter took office, officially bringing to an end the miserable Nixon era, and he stated “I will never lie to you.” Yep. An American President actually announced that. And meant it. And lived up to it.

People entrenched in what we’ve got now have no conception about this dynamic.

The transition from bush/cheney to the Obama presidency is not quite a parallel, even though The Obama administration was credible, legitimate, and respectable after the criminality of bush/cheney.

But THIS, now, is beyond even bush/cheney.
