41. It does

It does say a lot more about me than others ... I don't know about anyone else.

Right.

People still talk about all sorts of things, and they even debate how things should have been done and who should have done what when.

The fact is I have moved on from the disastrous eight years W was POTUS, and look now to our current leadership to right the horrid policies that were put in place by an incompetent (but not really) administration.

The question was posed, "what should he have done" and you responded he "should have protected the airports" and I responded that he would have been laughed out of the room attempting to put the kind of security in airports that would have stopped this attack.

Which lead us here.

But yes, it does say something about me that when a disagreement comes up and I run across a debate over an issue I can look past some blind hatred of someone who has not been around for six years and address and issue with a serious tone.
