21. Have To Agree With You... THE Length

Thu Jan 9, 2014, 01:51 PM

Jan 2014

does work in his favor, but intelligent "ordinary" people who follow politics just HAVE to know exactly what he's doing! It's called CYA and he probably mastered that a very LOOOOOONG time ago!

When a person can get as many Democrats to follow him like a pied piper, he knows how to work the system in his favor. Talking about being "betrayed" is NO excuse for not eye-balling this mess from the get-go and should be the very BOTTOM line of this whole thing. But what did he do? He made JOKES!! Classic!

The ONE thing that I can agree with is this... our American political system today ain't what it was when I was protesting back in the late sixties! We can scream & holler til the cows come home (sorry my southern bent) but his skates were been sharpened and waxed a long time ago. AND, I'm sure they're sent to shop every week to keep them honed!

I'm so stupid & naive that when I was given the wrong change last week I actually didn't think twice about calling the store back when I got home to tell them. They gave me a $100.00 bill when I should have been given a $20.00! My kharma got to me and said... well you know what it said!
