The Presidency... I Wonder Sometimes About The Diminishing Of The Office... Approaching Infantalism [View all]

He's a grown man, who's walked the mean streets of Chicago, educated himself, did community work, became a state rep, a U.S. Senator, has a beautiful smart wife, two smart and lovely daughters, has the Secret Service, the D.C. Police, Marine 1, AirForce 1, and the entire MIC protecting him...

And yet some here feel the need to make sure he's Ok.

I'm sure he gets a good chuckle... if he's even heard of us.

And... he's a politician.
